Clear Hearts Grey Flowers is an album that hooked me right away. When I listen to music I'm typically more focused on the instrumental rather than the vocals, but Jessicka's incredible lyrics and vocal performance had my undivided attention from start to finish. Her ability to go from haunting whispers directly to some of the best screams I've ever heard is a skill I aspire to someday obtain.

Strawberry Gashes is lyrically one of my favorite songs on the record and I wanted to see what I could do with the song in my own style. I had a lot of fun recording this and I hope you enjoy.


Strawberry Gashes (JACK OFF JILL COVER)

This is my homage to all the crazy shit I listened to in the early 2010s. S3RL and the OG Nightcore spotify page was some of the first music I gravitated towards. Needless to say, this has had disasterous results for my mental health.

I recently listened to "Hikikomori Days" by Shoebill  and fell in love. The anime album art, fucked up amen breaks, and heaping servings of unlicensed yet tasteful samples all took me back to days before parents understood the true dangers of unrestricted internet access. It also inspired me to try my hand at some mashcore myself and redeem my past low-effort-nightcore-uploading self.

This track was some of the most fun I've had with making music in a while, so I might do some more of this stuff in the future. Thank you for listening!

Samples:
Van Darkholme saying "fuck you" GachiBASS 
The Birthday Massacre - Pins And Needles
Taylor Swift - Haunted
Meg & Dia - Monster
Cruelty Squad - death noise and weird evil laugh

2010

That one song from that one show that left me with the same feeling End of Evangelion did. Loved the show and loved this song. Remix turned out more pop punk than hyperpop but I'm still happy with the results. Thank you for listening!

Original Song by Rosa Walton and Hallie Coggins

I Really Want to Stay at Your House (Hyperpop Remix)

Saab | It's a human right to feel safe

Ghostly Gothic preset in Nectar 3 goes insane I'm never properly mixing vocals again

I used the second bass loop from Anthony Fantano's bass loops video. Let me know what you think!

Yellow Flannel

This was the most powerful track for me to record. It's sort of a love letter to all of the people I knew back home. I wrote it on a boat in the middle of the ocean on an unplugged guitar with a fucked up floyd rose. It took me about 5 months before I was able to record a version I liked enough to post. The title came from me getting a bit tired of every person I showed the demo to asking me who it was about. This is the first track that I was confident was a good song. It gave me a creative boost that lead to the creation of the other seven songs.

Guitar: Danelectro '59 NOS
Bass: Squier Bronco
Pedals: Bass Big Muff (slide guitar)

To No One in Particular

This was the first song written for the album. It went through about three different versions before I landed on this one. During the production of the album, I wanted to remix and potentially rerecord a few aspects of the track. I unfortunately lost the original ,flp file for the track. It's still the favorite track for a lot of people I know, and the catalyst for the creation of the other 8 tracks.

Guitar: Danelectro '59 NOS
Bass: Fender PJ bass

Coffee Breath

This track was created after a solid week of me exclusively listening to "Is This It?" by The Strokes. I recorded the vocals as a scratch take and never ended up touching them again. I guess I just got attached to how they sounded in the mix.

Guitar: Squier Vista Super Sonic
Bass: Fender PJ Bass 
Pedals: Bass Big Muff (Both lead guitar and bass)

Good to Be Home

Trying something new. I went fairly pop with this song while trying to still stay authentic to myself. I used a new and much better mic to record the vocals and it really made mixing so much easier. Hope you enjoy!

This is a cover I made of a song by a band I had the pleasure of performing with a few months back. We performed this song much heavier live than the bluesy-folky studio version. I wanted to record a version of the song that was closer to the one we performed that night. I hope you enjoy! https://open.spotify.com/artist/3lgngA6O2RmLKptNLbD1ro here's a link to the band please give them the love they deserve

The Peace in My Mind (Mice Cover)

had some fun messing around with "fake guitar" (heres a video by Ben Levin explaining the concept https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enMzWJ54Pu8 ) and putting it through fl studio's default autotune program. I decided to cover one of my favorite songs of last year using this "fake guitar" as a baseline to sculpt the track around. More original music hopefully coming soon so stay tuned. Hope you enjoy!
