This song came to me when sitting at the keyboard late one night around 2010. Most of the piano part was written that night, and the rest was written when I sat down to finally record this.

The guitar is actually a clean guitar tone on the Juno DS, ran through the Neural DSP Corey Wong amp sim VST.

This was written as a sort of bittersweet love song.

This song came about when I tried combining a loop I had made recently (the first part) with a song I wrote around about 2010-2012 (the second, more upbeat part).

The acoustic guitar is a sample on the Juno DS and originally I hated it. After trying (and failing) to replace I finally stuck with it and it is what it is.
Everything else came from the Juno as well. This is the first song I recorded for this album.

Time and Space (Instrumental)

This song started as an FL Studio project around 2017. I originally did it all in the piano roll, inputting each note by hand. I had to recreate it by ear and from memory since I didn't have the original file anymore. The intro is cut from the original track.

The piano is Keyscape, the EP is the Reface CP, and the "guitar" is actually the Reface CP's clav with a bunch of effects on it. All the strings are from the Juno DS.

The track was inspired by waking up to a good day.

A.M.

Another song that started as a loop I made one night last year. It was originally a little faster and used all clean guitar sounds.

The name came from the fact that I was listening to a lot of indie rock/folk at the time and noticed that most of the lyrics of the songs are kinda depressing.

The EP is the Reface CP rhodes tone, playing octaves. I was trying to use it to capture that sound of certain indie bands that have a male and female singer.

Why Is It Always Sad Shit

Our first song with vocals. This song is about a person that you may have had a dream about, but have never met in your waking life.

Time and Space (ft. Laura P.)

Catoon is an Indie Rock duo from Birmingham, AL featuring instrumentals by Andrew Acker and vocals by Laura Pollard. Featuring a blend of Indie/Alternative Rock, Folk, and Dream Pop (with a dash of Post Rock and Shoegaze), Catoon aims to convey deep emotion to their listeners while leaving room for interpretation. 

Started in 2023 as a project by Andrew to simply record instrumental music he had been composing since childhood, the ideas began to take on a different shape after a larger-than-expected reception. Lyrics were written, microphones were procured, and vocals were incorporated. 

Andrew's influences include Herbie Hancock, Béla Fleck, Chick Corea, Billy Powell, and Jack Antonoff. Laura's vocal influences include Jenny Lewis, Stevie Nix, Adrianne Lenker, and Jewel.
