<a href="http://sharplessmusic.com/">Sharpless</a> began in a bedroom on a 20th birthday, in an attempt to express repressed thoughts and feelings. Frustrated by the lo-fi conventional sounds of bedroom pop, Sharpless utilizes the bedroom studio to create dense pop arrangements that weave between experimental and Top 40. They contrast these deafening hooks and celebratory genre bending rhythms, with personal lyrics that expand the mythos of the band itself. Sharpless released their debut, self-titled album in the beginning of 2011, and immediately began work on their recently released follow up album, <em>The One I Wanted To Be</em> featuring guest appearances from Small Wonder, Told Slant, Bellows, Eskimeaux, and many more members of The Epoch, a Brooklyn-based DIY collective. Lyrically, the album is a sprawling and personal narrative about past lives, parallel universes, and the search for home. 

Sharpless - Gemini

Every honey bee
Fills up jealously
When they see you out with me
Goodness knows, you're my rose

Flowers droop and sigh
When you pass by
And I know the reason why
Goodness knows
You're my rose

Don't buy sugar
You just have to stir it up
You're my sugar
So sweet when you stir it up

When I'm taking sips
From your tasty lips
Honey it just drips and drips
Goodness knows
You're my rose

Honeysuckle Rose

Maria St. Claire

When I wrote this, I imagined that it'd loop in the background of a video game as you explore a quaint village at night, while the snow falls around you and crunches under your feet. The stars twinkle in the sky as the breeze blows the falling flakes in to swirls that shimmer like the constellations. You feel a sense of inner peace and joy, as the world seems to stand perfectly still, but also has never been so alive.

First time ever making this kind of stuff. To be honest, I'm digging this process of production of music. Really fun. Hope you guys enjoy it.

You,me First
