This is a working demo for a song called Nepantla. All of the parts were written, performed, recorded, and mixed by Jorge Palacios Jr (performing as Iowa City Goat Club) using Ableton Live. There's some Jazzmasters and a Bass VI being played through a Boss Katana 50 (mk I) directly in, and some vocals recorded through an AKG Perception 200 into a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2. The drums were programed using a kit in Ableton, and all was mixed using (mostly) stock plugins. It is far from done but that's okay.

Lyrics:
Growing like columbines
in the cracks of a concrete desert
do I leave? or do I stay
moving is just so much effort
between the potheads and pothos, the cool and the crossed
the christians and klansmen, the rachels and ross
between all of these people I know that I'm feeling lost
I'm feeling lost

My spanish's not broken
it's like already burnt-out matches 
They gave me a new tongue
it's not English it's mourning the ashes
Do I leave for Chicago though I know that that's not home?
Do I stay 'till tomorrow and go it alone?
Do I follow the hard road and fight like I know what to do?
I don't know what to do

Nepantla
Tierra Aztlan
Agua Bendita
Ya tomada

These songs are a collection of ideas that came together over a long weekend in the summer of 2020. I mixed them into a demo to act as a road map for future projects. It came together sounding like bedroom sample-soul, though I very much hope to be able to share this music on a bigger stage soon.

Thanks to Tim "Tenderly Put" Calleja for his bongo solo on "Slave to the Bass"

Thanks to my brother Alex for his vocals on "Booty Tuesday"

Special thanks to J Dilla for creating the samples used on this demo.

I'd also like to express my gratitude to Curtis Mayfield, D'Angelo, Sam Cooke, Leon Bridges, Bootsy Collins, Amy Winehouse, Mac Demarco, Eddie Kendricks and Anderson Paak. Your music means the world to me.

To my co-conspiritors: I left a lot of space for you. Come get comfy.

Much Love

This demo was recorded over my longest weekend ever, in June 2020.
I wanted to lay down some ideas for future arrangements, and they started taking on a style of their own. I had fun with these, I hope you do too.

Piece Of Me

Didn't write this one. Cole Porter beat me to it. Wanted to add this to the "Evacuees" project as it was my father's favourite song.
Just a nylon string guitar, plus a little percussion. Solo guitar arrangement by Kirk Lorange.
