So after all these years of being a fan, a friend, & a bandmate, I finally recorded a Ghoul Poon cover (by chance & semi-accident per usual). This one's a deep cut from the 2007 EP, "She's Dead, Wait." 

Made with a 'side of the road score' Concertmate 1100 keyboard with a couple guitar effects pedals through a Boss RC-30 loop station into GarageBand. Vocals through an instrument mic also with some pre and post effects. April 2021.

The entire Ghoul Poon collection is available for free at GhoulPoon.bandcamp.com

A Monday Aboard The Dreamship (The Vessel Takes Orbit)

I was noodling some acoustic guitar and browsing old lyrics/ ideas and accidentally made this song. It had a fun nostalgic feel so I poorly recorded this electric demo. 
Doesn't sound like 2020, but feels like 2020. August 2020.
