hese songs are not perfect. but it had to be this way. i think. this one hurts. this is my singer+songwriter swan song for now. a very arduous process of leaving and returning to these songs over and over -while trying to retain the spirit of creativity unique to me in which they were created - made this one what it is. a far more eclectic record than the debut, there are a lot more disparate stylings at play here, with less idm, a little more edm, and a lot of different hard-to-describe moments of Rock N Roll. and lyrically, it deals with a lot of stuff i'd rather not talk about but had to explore somehow. the last 2 tracks sum it up well. i'd recommend those individually outside of the album. especially the last one. "everybody knows: it sucks to grow up" - ben folds for fans of... i don't really know. um. eclectic indietronic pop-ish music in general. i'll just list inspirations - death's dynamic shroud/beach house/jane remover/the postal service/gorillaz/george clanton/mbv/$quib/quadeca/anco released 10.01.24 singles: PrePerfecture {near-final versions of Phronematic & Practically Nihilist} (KS007) - 04.28.24 Bonustrackhiddentrack - (KS008) - 09.30.24 thank you to: Yvan Tsalta - for being a very patient listener and helping me extensively with the mixing/mastering process Julian Culler - for your patience and always pushin me forward and reassuring me that perhaps me/my music DON'T actually suck that much Chris Narine - you're an inspiration to me in a lot of regards, not least of all you were one of the first SLKS fans Noel Leon - graphic designer and videographer extraordinaire George Clanton Valerie Cooper <3 credits: Sam - lyrics, vocals, electric guitar, bass, synthesizer, drum programming, field recordings, effects, production, mixing, mastering engineer, cover concept Kean Morris - piano (track 10) Yvan Tsalta - mixing consultant, assistant mastering engineer Julian Culler - mixing consultant Chris Narine - mixing consultant Noel Leon - cover design, cover photography many people, some known, some unknown, who contributed to the field recordings woven in as textures
