My new album **Crash Test** releases Friday April 24th!
Itās up for presave on all streaming platforms and for preorder on Bancamp. ( The Bandcamp version comes with a few bonus tracks! )
This project means a lot to me, I canāt wait for you all to hear it.
I havenāt talked about this publicly, but these past couple of years Iāve been dealing with a lot of health anxiety and panic attacks, which all caught up to me late last year. (Which is what the song **Crashout **is about)
I would go on these long walks, listening to music to drown out my thoughts. I kept imagining myself as a crash test dummy. Something made to be thrown into perilous situations. It was a way of calming myself down,
*āIām not going through this, the crash test dummy isā.*
Around that time the second anniversary of my game Kitten Burst was coming up and I wanted to make something for it. I decided to try finishing my song ā**A Million Postcards**ā with the vocal synth **Kasane Teto**. (I wrote the chorus while developing the game, but couldnāt figure out the verses in time for release)
I had such a fun time writing lyrics and tuning her voice, I decided to dust off my lyrics for **Talk To You Later** and finish that song too (It was the original counter song to **Slowblink**, but I thought it was too sad for an ending song). Then I dug up some old demos (**Honeycrisp**, **Angels in the Static Snow**) and finished those as well.
One day I realized I had made a full album, and it had been months since my last panic attack. My head had been filled with melodies, lyrics, music videos, arg puzzles, 3D modeling, loreā¦
One must imagine the crash test dummy happy.
TTYL, Jam
