The New VS The Old

EP

About

The New VS The Old was recorded mostly on an iPhone 11. It's a mixture of new songs and some older songs that have been kicking around for a while, but never given any love. This 5 song EP explores the never ending questions of purpose on this planet, the conditions we are born into and die out of, the perceived restlessness of a mermaid's existence, the beauty of the moment in travelling bliss, and the common thread of bubbling unease between living through a pandemic and the pending war between the new and old gods from the book and TV series, "American Gods" by Neil Gaiman.

Favourite Moment

Listening back to the mixes of the songs after my friend had a go at them! It took a bunch of iphone garageband projects and made them into an album. It was also really cool to write all the instrument parts for the songs as opposed to my standard view of just the vocal and guitar.

Advice

Do it. You'd be surprised of what you are capable of.
