1.) an object that that surrounds, lies on top of or otherwise shelters something to offer protection
2.) could include protection from elements, forces, eyes or any other things beyond the cover
3.) one function of these recordings

These covers have lingered in and around my mind and room for the past year or so. The originals are by artists whose music I really admire (Sparklehorse, Thao & The Get Down Stay Down, and Adrianne Lenker & Buck Meek).

These covers served me well. They took many different shapes as different purposes came up (birthdays, music with guitar, music without guitar, singing low, tremolo, fortitude, fingerpicking), but all in all they kept me immersed in an engaging space during the covid-19 pandemic. I hope they fit you well and, with any luck, assist you in keeping your crows away.

Gold Day

Sometimes covers keep your crows away and sometimes they shine through a cloudy night with weird unnatural light. This is a cover of one of my favorite Elliott Smith songs. The aesthetic was loosely inspired by a scratch project I worked on 9 years ago: scratch.mit.edu/projects/13548068/

guitar, singing, production - Banti Gheneti
bass - Nchinda Nchinda
flute - Chloe Yang
mastering, music wisdom - June Isenhart
artwork - Leensa Gheneti
lyrics - Elliott Smith

Condor Ave

Honda Odyssey pairs well with
~ a Breakfast of Champions
~ dancing on the subway platform with your real or imaginary friends
~ head bopping on the bus because I like the bus. Who doesn't?
~ late nite drive back from a concert with a crescent moon out
~ picking up that craft project from two years ago
~ practicing self-love by drinking hot cocoa in a cozy place
~ getting a gold star for your ethical slut book report

Strange Skull is for when
~ your sad boy slowcore starter pack is missing a piece
~ it's rainy/dark out and you wanna go on a walk
~ you need a wall of sound to give you a hug while telling a story
~ scrolling on Reddit to find the piano Mitski used on that one song
~ things are not going to be ok and you realize that that is ok
~ the long-covid self-help guide needs a soundtrack
