Car Seat Headrest (2015 live at WMUC)

Mike's first release as a solo artist uses carefully crafted acoustic synth-pop to explore the emotions associated with nearly forgotten love, bringing it back into the light with his lyrical vulnerability.

All composition, lyrical content, synth patches, instrumental performances, singing, whistling, audio recordings, mixing, and mastering was done by Mike Hauser. The only thing not done by Mike was taking the original picture that appears on the album cover; this photo credit belongs to Christina Amen. Mike has mainly been working with The Radiographers as of late, but wanted to release some of his material that did not fit with the band’s current musical style. In the EP, he delves into both his platonic and romantic relationships with a sense of nostalgia and hope. Hope that someday the feelings of nothingness and apathy will be pushed aside by the ever evasive emotional warmth of a companion.

Alright with Me

"Deep Dream Delights (demo)" by Mike Hauser

A lyrical sequel to Alright with Me, Deep Dream Delights explores the dreams of the lover after letting go of the loved. While their muse may have "another in line of sight", these realities fade as deep dream delights take over once eyes are closed.

After lured in with a tape delayed piano intro, the listener is quickly plunged into a wall of sound cemented by a driving synth bass melody. The song continues by weaving in and out of catchy verses, shortly digressing into a cosmic bridge with dueling guitar/whistle solos, and later finishes with a refrain rising in intensity to a climactic vocal spotlight.
