Everything's Alright (demo) [Kimya Dawson cover]

I'm Bound to Pack It Up (White Stripes Cover)

this is a demo for an unreleased song that I recorded for the 2nd album by The Kodaks that never surfaced. The working title of this song was Untitled 2 and it became better known as PANGEA - we plaid this in Brooklyn & Manhattan and I have only shared this with friends until now. It's an old, unfinished demo but the song is still near and dear to my heart

Untitled 2 (Pangea)[Feb. 2012 demo]

This is one of many recording made via my iPhone "Voice Memos" that I use to catch any idea or sound that strikes me. This is not a finished product in any way; more an idea than a song really.



Moving Textures

In 2012 Adam Fitzgerald & CoreeJay lived in the same crazy ass building in Detroit - they became quick bros, came up with the moniker "Like Mindz" and recorded music ceaselessly for months. One of the songs from these sessions was a cover of Aaliyah's timeless classic "Hot Like Fire" which ended up being released as The Kodaks ft. CoreeyJay

Hot Like Fire by Like Mindz (Adam Fitzgerald & CoreeJay)

This was a demo I wrote and recorded in 2011/2012 and never released. All I have left of it now is the mp3 version, so forgive the quality and the rudimentary nature of the demo itself. Listening to it again, the bridge is what made me want to upload this song... "Yeah, Sure"

Yeah Sure

Soon my group Shady Groves (soundcloud.com/shady-groves) will begin releasing singles for our second LP. One of the first singles I wrote to be released for SGLP2 is "Backflips"

This iPhone voice memo recording is a short snippet of the original loop that I made while conceptualizing Backflips.

Kind Words About Shady Groves

	“Michigan based collective Shady Groves is brimming with talent and versatility. Their lofty, drifting sound sends listeners to tranquil mindsets as their ambient, indie, folk style meets somewhere in the middle with pop and rock genres. A group of multi-instrumentalists and songwriters, Shady Groves use their individual talents to inject variety into their collective songs, and their cohesion as a group is seamless even with so many cooks in the kitchen.
Coming together in 2015, Shady Groves has more recently released their 12 track album Bitzer which has been well received for its outstanding lyrics and musicianship. The album features eye-catching and textured visuals from Connor Irwin who has done all of the artwork for the group. Shady Groves’ music sounds like the lovechild of chill wave and psychedelic rock and is perfect for just kind of getting lost in the music and lyrics.”
