NWSPR was in this for the long haul. And Quarantine is his chronicle of the first 5 weeks. Best described as a home brew of Spaghetti Western punk and new wave recorded in the kitchen (between meals).

Uzewkonrop In (Feat. Deveius)

Only The Dead

Another of the Catskills Analogue sessions recorded with monophonic analog synthesizer layered over Roland TR-505 drum machine.  A very old school approach inspired by examination of early Human League recordings.  

Brooklyn Black Frame Seven

Like Sun In Rain is minimalist synthpop track using computer text to speech vocals over monophonic synthesizer and 80s influenced drum machine.  Influenced by the style of early Human League and other early electronic bands like Landscape and Heaven 17.  

Like Sun In Rain

Week 5 of the quarantine. Let's face it. I'm running out of ideas. Electronic remix to the rescue in this epic reimagining of the now 4 week old classic original version of Quarantine.

Quarantine (Electric)

This was the week it all started. Everything was cancelled and it was unlikely we'd be going anywhere soon. Out of fear and depression came this spaghetti western style new wave song recorded on the Sunday morning we knew we weren't going back to work.

The Good, The Bad, and the Bass

First week of the quarantine, I'm freaking out a bit (let's be honest) so I stay up late late to watch the ZZ Top documentary on Netflix. Holy shit, I love ZZ Top and I record my best effort knock-off tribute to their revolutionary electronic Texas boggie woogie sound. How did I do? It's recorded in my kitchen so cut me some slack.

The Ninety-Nine

Week 2 of the quarantine, I record this mantra to the strangeness of the situation, realizing how fortunate I am to be trapped with my favorite people on the planet.
lyrics
It's a beautiful world
when I look in your face

It's a beautiful world
from outer space

It's A Beautiful World

I embrace my captivity through a love song to an imaginary cell mate named Quarantine. Recorded in my kitchen in Brooklyn during week 3 of the COVID-19 quarantine.
