Some News.

So, I have a bit of news. Im putting two albums on here in the near future. First is an EP called "How I Met the Man in the Bunny Mask" and second is a full length called "Rabbit Holes and Whirlwinds".

The tracklist for "How I Met the Man in the Bunny Mask":
1. Grasping For...
2. An Introduction
3. Breathing Underwater
4. Why I Like Bowling
5. Raindrops Keep F4444LL1N on My Head
6. An Agreement Between Trees and Streets (Equilibrium)
7. Home

This EP is about a very meaningful relationship and how it has affected me. It starts out with a prelude, proceeds to meeting and understanding, trips over an absurdity, attempts to find an equilibrium and then stops to breathe. I love this album in concept and in execution.

The tracklist for "Rabbit Holes and Whirlwinds":
1. Parting the Shades
2. Jumping Fences
3. Switch
4. A Breaking Point
5. Ode to a Caffeine Addict
6. To Need to Be
7. The Great Collapse into Ignorance (Bliss)
8. One of Those Whirlwinds
9. Creation
10. Point A
11. Again? Nevermind...
12. 1000 Milliseconds

So, I decided to write the second album on a whim (with the exceptions of songs four and five). I just sat down and poured out all of my thoughts and feelings over the course of a week. I was able to bring most of these songs to a level of completion that I have never been able to accomplish (and I would describe the sound as full and polished). The nature of these songs is incredibly personal; I attempt to describe my ideas, doubts, and falterings with music. It might be tough to grasp (still no lyrics) but if one listened to it enough one could understand why I tick.

Ode to a Caffeine Addict

So, I wrote a song about caffeine.

Whenever I drink a cup of coffee, I become crazy as all hell. My mouth runs a mile a minute, I vibrate across rooms, I find everything shiny extremely entertaining, I run like some type of bizarre dinosaur (a velocaraptor on crack?). And then I stop moving.

This song is about my life, if I were to be addicted to caffeine. Funny enough, a couple of days after I wrote this song I drank a ridiculous (for me) amount of coffee.

Why I Like Bowling

So, you all know the game. You take this big heavy ball (with only three holes?) and you throw it at ten pins, knocking that shit down.

I used to hate bowling. I used to find it boring, painful, and just completely unenjoyable. But once you get in the rhythm of it, its a lot of fun. This is an expression of why I am now able to enjoy bowling.


I love how the two synths play around the same central (and invisible) rhythm at first and eventually come together. Also, there are some pretty cool sounds.

Raindrops Keep F444LL1N on My Head

Not much to say here, its a song about rain. There is something about summer thunderstorms which I find strangely irresistible. The drums drip a little, the bass drives a lot, and the synth holds a ton of energy. Fast paced, intensely driven, and probably the best song I've written to date.


Here it is.

Night EP

Its called Night EP, and its about... well, nighttime. Something which is (to me, at least) calming and normalizing in the most interesting way. It is a collection of songs that starts with dusk (didn't know if you would notice), moves into a thunderstorm, spends some time in dreamland and ends with... well, it ends with a suitable ending. This EP is often dark and dirty (I do love it when you can feel the sounds scratch your eardrum), energetic when it needs to be and sometimes almost soothing (in a weird way). The sound is influenced by (but it doesn't really sound like): Acid Girls, autoKratz, Birdy Nam Nam, Metronomy, Ratatat, Shameboy, Tipper, and The Toxic Avenger.

Track-list:
1 - Dusk
2 - A Bat or Two
3 - Rings Around the Moon
4 - Summer Air (Electric)
5 - Flowing into a Dream
6 - Melting Clocks
7 - Night Then Morning
8 - AabcdDcbAbDA

Summer Air (Electric):

Rings Around the Moon:

Here it is, just download the archive file. It includes the eight song EP as well as the album artwork.

Its all Creative Commons under this license. That means: If you like it share it. And if you really like it, remix it (and do send me a copy, I'd love to hear it). But, no matter how much you like it, you can't sell it.

ps: Credit is due to Minus the Bear, Dusk uses a sample from Pachuca Sunrise (off of their acoustic album). Great band, check them out.
