Album

About

It's another rock album, with a few punk songs, a few proggy synth songs, a couple heavy shoegaze songs, and a couple throw-aways, because who has time to make 10 good ones? Recorded at home, by myself, except for an organ solo by my friend. It's such a stressful project, but also fun!

Favourite Moment

A copy and paste error lead to an unexpectedly great key change!

Advice

If you're attempting an album, plan as much as you can in advance. I don't actually follow this advice, but I wish I would.
