think you've got a great sound on these tracks. reminds me a bit of moldy peaches vocals wise but really like how it works with the folky guitar. comes across as really honest.
A song I've had stored in my head for quite awhile, though never committed to tape (erm... binary code) - probably because I thought it was a bit simple and even trite. Having to come up with an album's worth of material in a month cured me of…
this is about a couple who are at odds with each other because of their goals, could also be viewed as a guy who wants his partner to commit suicide with him?
i usually play this on guitar, but for the RPM Challenge, i wanted to do it electronically…
This was the second track for my 2009 RPM Challenge album "Relative Polyphonic Mutiny. It was written and recorded in an hour and a half in the middle of the night. Also the first time I ever played keyboards of any sort and there was no time…
turning point #1

lyrics:
Don't look in the mirror, your skin will never seem as soft

Simon & Garfunkel meets Cat Power - love it!
Great lyrics - especially the lines at the end: "Eskimo kisses completeness/Sweaters and branches and sweetness/Noses and cheeks are my weekness" — fantastic.
Grew out of my frustration at having to sing, play all the instruments, and engineer my own recording...
Baby, Would You Be My Engineer?:
