iām really proud of this record, it has some of my favorite sounds iāve ever captured on it. i like to think iām just a goofy guitar goon but this record became more serious than i expected it to be. last year some old wounds were opened up and everything fell out. while writing these songs, i spent a lot of time driving back and forth across the city. after living in over 20 addresses, i feel like my relationship with LA is complex and strange - being surrounded by the past while trying to be present, especially when both can be painful, sad, and confusing. sometimes reality becomes impossible to escape, and everything becomes a search for an answer or an exit.

iām working on a new live set and instrumental solo guitar record, so iāve been revisiting the last time i made a record with no words. itās kinda manic and all over the place, with mellow lap steel, oozy shoegaze textures, impromptu shreds you should check it out
(also the only non-guitar sound on the record is a sample of chris tucker from fifth element, because why not š¤Ŗ)

Because itās my debut EP and honestly Iām aware that this may seem like it, but I donāt do self-promo ever.
Iām sharing this here because Iām so happy that I released this (finally), and I genuinely think that the community would see themselves represented in this project (deep thinking, spending so long alone making art etc)
itās an ep that shares a mutable perspective of loneliness, love of all kinds, ambition and freedom - it is a mostly fictional tale set to music with an unreliable narrator.
It also serves as a tiny tribute to literary, musicalāartistic rebellion and innovation of the past. 100% self-produced, engineered etc
I wanted it to feel as though youāre opening an old scrapbook, or a secondhand book and perhaps there are suggestions of itās previous owner. Hopefully I delivered that discovering an āartefactā experience.
part one of a collection of music heavily inspired by and laden with symbolism from film and 'glamour meeting decay'.
Iām so tired but so relieved that it is out now.

Shameless self promo. Been working on tracking my next release which is an LP that should be (hopefully) out before the end of this year. If you like dream pop, post-punk revival, jangle pop, math rock, and garage rock, this might be ur cup of tea. A good chunk of the music was written when I was in middle school/high school except for my EP Never Better, which was written when I was a freshman/sophmore in college with my old bandmates (my first collaborative release!). I honestly cringe listening to my old music now but I guess that just means Iāve become a better songwriter. The new songs sound so different and I canāt wait to share them. In the meantime, Iād check out Too Close for Comfort, D-emo, and Slow Days.
