I wrote this EP over the summer of 2024. It’s mostly a batch of instrumental castaways that seemed to fit together, other than the title track, “Greenwich Mean”.

You’ll notice that track is the only one with vocals. If you’ve got a few minutes, have a listen. The lyrics feel menacing and ominous, but at their core, they’re just nonsense. I don’t even own a bicycle! But on that note, isn’t it interesting how nonsense vocals can chameleon themselves based on the tonality of what’s going on around them?

Either way, I hope you enjoy the EP, and please let me know if you want to chat — thanks!
