My attempt at Wire-ish songwriting. Recorded in the overty-creepy space I used to rent when I lived downtown.
My Coronal Suture
A lot of Art Department songs were not initially written in the style of the Art Department. Here is an example of that. Also, 12th Grade anatomy class gave me a lot of cool words to use. Since then, I’ve wanted to rhyme “future” with “coronal suture,” which is a suture that runs horizontally along the top of the skull.
Vold Brocke
This is lo-fi as it gets. Sounds like a real band though, eh? The title is inspired by many of the lyrics being nonsensical.
Little Bag
A Failed Ygreiega song, recorded during the summer of last year. My friend calls one of her cohorts by the name “Bucket” so I though “Little Bag” could also be a plausible name for a character. It’s a narritive of a lazy, crazy persons life. My parents thought I was saying “Little Fag” which is pretty cool.
Soundproof The Tomb
Another new Repelican song, recorded a couple of months ago. It, too, is a re-record of Ygriega era shit.
The Intent To Mislead
This song is a re-record of a song from last years “Failed Ygriega” project, in which I attempted to record 10 songs a month. I only had one mic at the time and was recording in a pretty spooky practice space. I liked the song, but thought I could milk the rockiness a little more, thus this version of the song. The lyrics are vaguely about my disappointment in education.
Insect Speak
This song was the first in my ill-fated attempt to record 10 songs a month. The project inevitably failed, as a self-imposed deadline is likely to fizzle out once the ispiration that sparked the idea faded away over the following 3 months. This is a bizzare song that was initially going to be its own band, but ended up just being this one song.
