about

This last track started with acoustic guitar, recorded in my apartment in Wenzhou while doing a load of laundry (that's the swishing sound). Then, I added drums to it (also recorded at the shitty music school, Love Art). At least it was $2 to use the room! The chorus lead part (on the left speaker) is reversed acoustic guitar and some delay effect. Sorry I didn't transcribe the "Jackass Teacher" sample in the lyrics, but it doesn't mean that much to the song, it just adds to the vibe. The ending is a mix of two other samples. The ambient cloud bit is actually just like 20 plug-ins and sends on a unplugged electric guitar. The background noise is... well, it's noise that I recorded while tinkering with my ringmod and delay pedals about 2 years ago in my house on Clark Street (Morgantown, WV). It's funny how it all comes together, ain't it?
Anyways, if you've read these and have listened to this, I want you to know I truly appreciate you. Fan, friend, or stranger, from the bottom of my red fucking heart, thank you. <3

lyrics

There's no mistake.
The record light is red
like blood, like love.
Red like blood, like love, like love.
I'm cutting the tape
right off my brain.
It's red.
Maybe I should stop and wait.
But it's hot, and I want,
and I want
in the pool, cuz it's cool,
cuz it's cool.
