the bleeps and bloops bouncing over lofi melodies will charm anyone who listens to basil the mouse's untitled, self released demo ~

Only 10 copies made, (with plans on releasing more in felt DVD cases), lack of tools & time always seemed to catch up to this natural composer.

a true diy ethic would prove useful with the tools he gathered throughout his childhood. self-recorded samples, vintage toys, repaired electronics, (plus a harmony that inspired some of his lyrics), this collection of songs will warm you with soft & fuzzy nostalgia. 

electro-toy-twee paired with lofi-bedroom-pop, Basil the Mouse's live performances were a show of multi-tasking talent. combining toys, snare drum, synthesizer & casio keyboard beats ~ as well as an intercom mic taped around his face xD oh. and costumes of course ;p

this demo is indeed timeless, just as his previous release, "your hands feel like home". these 14 tracks were dear to many, and lost throughout some time. containing expression unlike before, the playful & slice of life lyrics will stick in your head all day, and may leave you just as heart-spun in love as myself.

his ear for tunes has created another timeless capsule contained in a spray-painted custom stencil cover & wrapped in a plastic baggie (cover art)

lyrics:
you are made 
of something sweet
something i like more than candy
and no amount
of chocolate bars
could ever do the same thing to my heart

you don't melt in my hands 
or get stuck to my teeth
you're so much better than my favorite candy

don't even think
that it would do
if gummy bears were the size of you 
cause the other day 
i bought a pound,
now they're all gone
but you're still around

you don't melt in my hands 
or get stuck to my teeth,
you're so much better than my favorite candy
no sticky hands or cavity you're so much better than my favorite candy

basil the mouse - 02 - My favorite Candy
