tomorrow’s a special day
first off: gonna be releasing a little project I’ve been working on this winter/spring. decided to take a stab at a little half-instrumental half-songwriter project mainly using the instruments in my room and incorporating some of the analog recording gear I’ve been collecting lately. came out with something pretty funky so I’d like to show you now. it’s got everything from groovy vibes-driven instrumentals, to radio jingles, to country ballads, to songs with brazillian-baião-inspired instrumentals where I’m singing in irish. talkin’ with toby* is out on bandcamp tomorrow morning. it’ll hit streaming maybe in the fall.
secondly: tomorrow night at 8pm will be my first solo electric set at @hartbarnyc with @callmedirt@darling.wav and @deckerbrother510 if you’re trying to see some crazy ass music on a monday, this stop is you pal. maybe I’ll play some stuff from this but no promises.
see yall tomorrow!

*toby is the name of my little tascam 246 4-track cassette recorder with a broken erase head, who’s efforts appear in part on every track on the record. in our conversations, we have taught each other to try embracing our silly flaws, and maybe even take a stab at considering them to actually be the best things about us for a change.
