the bleeps and bloops bouncing over lofi melodies will charm anyone who listens to basil the mouse's untitled, self released demo ~

Only 10 copies made, (with plans on releasing more in felt DVD cases), lack of tools & time always seemed to catch up to this natural composer.

a true diy ethic would prove useful with the tools he gathered throughout his childhood. self-recorded samples, vintage toys, repaired electronics, (plus a harmony that inspired some of his lyrics), this collection of songs will warm you with soft & fuzzy nostalgia. 

electro-toy-twee paired with lofi-bedroom-pop, Basil the Mouse's live performances were a show of multi-tasking talent. combining toys, snare drum, synthesizer & casio keyboard beats ~ as well as an intercom mic taped around his face xD oh. and costumes of course ;p

this demo is indeed timeless, just as his previous release, "your hands feel like home". these 14 tracks were dear to many, and lost throughout some time. containing expression unlike before, the playful & slice of life lyrics will stick in your head all day, and may leave you just as heart-spun in love as myself.

his ear for tunes has created another timeless capsule contained in a spray-painted custom stencil cover & wrapped in a plastic baggie (cover art)

lyrics:
driving in my car 
i can't help but wonder where you are
i have no place to be 
but you couldn't take yourself off my sheets
the streets are covered in clouds 
so i doubt i will ever see you now
everyone says i'm okay, okay
all i do is daydream of you everyday
everyone says i will be okay

RougeHotel - IX.II.0o

"Kapu" is an ode to the feeling of a youthful hope and joy, giving us life. Felt only momentarily, this fleeting emotion can also be recurring in different forms: sometimes lively and playful, other times more soothing and comforting, but always containing the same essence. 

The track features a piano part from the song "dullscythe" by Porter Robinson. 

Thank you to @ecovoron for creating the wonderful cover art
