Let me know what you think about it. Half the songs are in the new direction that I am going and the other half are...well...old but I think it strikes a nice balance.
Also, since rickiep00h pointed out that I have not included the tracklisting/any metadata to evidence that I have put any thought into the order of the album and have, infact, included a lot of scary numbers to confuse you, here is the track listing for the album:
1) Long, Long Night 2) Slings & Arrows 3) Henry Miller VS the Sea 4) Mixtape Song 5) Angelina 6) St. Anthony Falls 7) Liquor Lyles, 2:30 AM 8) Midwestern Boy
The album is mostly me, there are a couple of songs (Henry Miller VS the Sea and St. Anthony Falls) where I am joined by Rob Schmidt (who plays drums for Battlefields as well as being a dirty longhair) and Mike Barnum with whom I play sometimes on his Riesage project. It's kinda folky/alt country/weird shoegaze at times, but I'll let you draw your own conjectures.
Also, I can vouch for Rob Schimdt's Battlefields, while we're at it. Not only do I know they're 17 kinds of brutal metal, Rob was in some of my production classes!
@sgrsickness I have a website - here. And as for other albums, yes I have one and no you can't have it because I put it out when I was just out of highschool and it is terrible.
Howayyyyver, hopefully by the fall I will have a new record out that I am really excited about that is about large ungulates dying in mass quantities.
Hello. Downloaded and listnened. I liked it, but was listening to it in the background, and it almost fades away if you're not careful. A song would end and I would forget to start the next one because it just seemed like such a natural transition from song to silence.
Also, one of the songs struck me as being slightly John Mayer-ish. I like Mayer well enough; that wasn't either a negative or positive comment, but simply an observation. I didn't feel like any of the songs had any great catchy hooks or melodies. I don't think that all music has to be some pop, verse-chorus-verse-structured, hook-laden kid-bop, or whatever, but I felt like the group of songs was lacking something that was really going to draw me in to want to listen more actively; and perhaps that comes down to musical tastes...
I'll give another listen, most likely, though, so perhaps I'll love it the next time. As it is now, it was just good music that I could live without hearing again. Thanks for the free tunes.
