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:
if a picture paints a thousand words
they why can't i paint you
the words will never show
the you i've come to know

if a face can launch a thousand ships
than where am i to go
there's no one home but you
you're all that's left me to
and when my love for life is running dry,
come and pour yourself on me

if i could be in two places at one time
i'd be with you tomorrow and today
beside you all the way

if the world should stop revolving 
spinning slowly down to die
I'd spend the end with you
and when the world was through
then one by one the stars would all go out
then you and I would simply fly away

if i could be two places at one time
i'd be with you tomorrow and today, 
beside you all the way
beside you all the way~
