ayyyyy this is a collection of demos i did recently. from the liner notes:
"“see you whenever” is a collection of originals, covers, and improvisations for vocals and piano, a collection i recorded on and off over the span of a few days in isolation after a failed attempt to take my own life. it follows in the footsteps of three other projects that were recorded during my days in college. the projects tend to be gritty, raw, and scrambled together with reckless abandon. this ... read more
it was definitely worth the once through. a lot of it is very homogenous, but it's pleasing to the eardrums during it's runtime. not to shabby.
2. The World Is Ending - 4.5
8. A Poem On The Men's Room Wall - 4.5
i completely understand i'm a dunce for this, but this does nothing for me.
if i wanted to listen to The White Album i'd listen to The White Album.
if i wanted to listen to Jolene i'd a crash a rural wedding.
she is no longer the female version of a hustler
of a hustler
of a of a hustler.
genuinely breathtaking when it’s not trying to play safe.
safe DOES make for chillin’
the hits hit, the misses miss. much better than the other THING they released last.

this album has been out for about nine years now, and i was the one to add it to the site. this album has been out for about nine years now, and i am the only person to have purchased it on Bandcamp. as far as i know, not a single other person has listened to this.
and, frankly, neither have i. but i have. this is easily my most "god dammit Sam you're such a artsy hipster piece of shit" 10/10 i have. i don't care. i LITERALLY don't care.
wwwwwwww (pronounced ... read more
i appreciate the musicianship more than i appreciate the music, let's leave it at that
son of a bitch dude

i was genuinely surprised by clean this was. you think blues records from this era absolutely have their time and place, but most of them don't exactly work as full collections of work now. this was excellent. passionate, dirty, lots of good cuts. definitely a diamond in the rough.
2. Stumble - 5.0
3. I Wonder Why - 5.0 & SOTY
3. Stormy Monday - 4.5
7. Ain't Nobody's Business What We Do - 4.5
9. Woke Up This Morning - 5.0
11. My Feeling for the Blues - 4.0
i've been bumping this the last three chest days, only one of the chest days was bad. mostly my fault: strength training on an empty stomach is such a terrible idea.
anyways i had only heard Rollout and Area Codes before this (yes, my friends clowned me because i guess i've never heard Move Bitch ever? somehow?) and was pleasantly surprised by this. very enjoyable.
2. Rollout (My Business) - 4.5
8. Growing Pains - 5.0 & SOTY
10. Move Bitch - 4.5
12. Saturday (Oooh! Ooooh!) - 5.0
definitely worth a once through, the track with Baths is pretty sick.
i don't even want to dignify this. this, this THING, this WHATEVER THE FUCK, is absolutely hideous.
uhhhh, how do i describe this album without actually describing what the music is. so, like, imagine if you had this really badly trained miniature pinscher. fucker is constantly a ball of energy, incessantly yipping at anybody within a 20 meter radius, darts around the house at a kajillion miles an hour, bites the neighbors, and only seems about 50% potty trained. imagine if you took that ... read more

i hope you never have to experience this odd sense of closure (or lack thereof)
