Short one for "traveling bar blues" or short for now.

once upon a darkened road

never to come back
and twice upon my darkened soul
she pluck nails from my toes
she laughed and hiss and cackled
as the fire crackled…

I kind of wish I still had the individual tracks for this so I could mix it better, but I still think it's an interesting mix of sounds.

This just stemmed from deliberately trying to make a drum loop as distorted and ugly-sounding as possible. Violik from The Tapeworm Collective contributed the dubby bass and some strange noises.

For whatever reason this album ended up having a lot of songs that could be low-budget horror movie themes.

As you can probably tell, I had a lot of fun with gratuitous panning and weird vocal effects on this album.

I'm proud to say this is one of the weirdest songs I've ever done. I got some more use out of the beer bottle here, this time hitting it with a pencil instead of blowing on it.

Of the whole album, this is the track I had most fun making. The instrumentation consists of accordion, beer bottle, work desk, toy keyboard, whistling, and scissors.

A song about being a frog.
