Read the Description

I worked on this project with DRTYDRDZ from winter of 2014 to winter of 2015. A lot has changed since then, and I didn’t plan on releasing this until recently. Since finishing this project, I got myself a much better microphone, started getting my projects mixed/mastered professionally, and generally started taking music much more seriously than I did during this album. With that in mind, please forgive the audio quality, as it does not reflect the work that I make now.

I wrote and recorded this album during a very weird period of my life. I was living in Oak Harbor, Washington, working as a hospital corpsman for the US Navy in a small hospital. I had a strange relationship with a co-worker, and this album reflects how I felt dealing with that situation. I was also in my mid twenties, and I was trying to figure out how to be an adult. I lived in a 400 square foot studio apartment at the shittiest place in town. I took mushrooms and listened to Wilco. I drank so much and so often that I once threw up blood. I had maxed my credit cards and I ate McDonalds for Thanksgiving. The only thing holding me together was this relationship, which actually made things worse. I was not in a great place, so I retreated into writing. I wrote probably 40 songs for this album, but whittled it down to these six tracks. You can only imagine how bad those other 35ish songs were.

I write this because I want to be clear that I am not proud of my work on this album. I didn’t release this for over two years because of how cringey it makes me feel. It’s hard to get past the douche chills. I was essentially whining about nothing when I needed to be getting my shit together. However, I want to put this out there because there are a few moments of introspection in the middle of this pity party. Who knows, maybe this will help someone down the road.

Thanks for reading that, and thanks for listening. I will have music that doesn’t suck for you within the next month or so.
