Sameness

 "Sameness" is the last song I released as a single, maybe not forever but certainly for now. Writing songs is hard, okay?

I added in Eli, Jackson & Hudson on guitar, trombone & vocals respectively. In a way this was like a MKoS / Toesuckers crossover in that all of us were on it. I feel like I didn't want that group to fade away and kept on trying to make songs to preserve it.

Lyrically, you can tell I was close to the end here as I'm venting a lot about ennui.

Gone

 "Gone" is easily my favorite song I've ever made, it's some kind of soft rock / R&B fusion that I took a LONG time to make. I originally sketched out the melodies on an acoustic guitar and singing, before taking it to the next level with some of my older studio techniques. I also went through a process of having a bridge on the song before removing it as it did not quite work out. The lyrics were initially about losing innocence / growing up, but I realized it could be interpreted as a break-up or abandonment song as well so leaned into those double meanings. Gracie, my college friend, contributed vocals to the final cut and really adds something special to the piece. Please listen to the different versions listed below: 2024.01.22 FULL release ,      2023.07.12 demo with bridge ,      2022.02.08 acoustic demo

Blood Jangle (with Ben Safos)

 "Blood Jangle" written by Jack Williams and Ben Safos I composed this song largely inspired by the music of Half-Life 2 by Kelly Bailey. I always loved the hypnotic vibe of that work mixing electronic and rock. I featured my fellow Avon-Laker and bass player of "Strobe Light Casualties", Ben Safos, who delivers backing vocals and electric guitar. 2023.05.20 release
