after about 3 years of telling people "oh i'm working on something, hopefully it'll come out some time this year" when asked when i'll release something, i've finally made an ep. it blends influences of ambient, shoegaze, noise, drone metal, tape music and other experimental genres into a 20 minutes variety show. i hope you find it interesting.

- thank you's -
everyone who listened to early versions of the songs, in alphabetical order:
achilles, alex, chloe (and everyone who was at her place when i played it), edan, edward, gabs, julian, jorjabelle, jonathan, mia, owen, phil, reuben, rhiannon, sonnet and anyone else i've forgotten. all of your input was invaluable, even if it was just a 'yeah sounds cool'.

everyone who gave feedback on the ep art, as i have little to no experience doing graphic design, it was greatly appreciated.

all of the wonderful music teachers i've been lucky enough to have over the years through all stages of education, i would not be doing this without you.

any friends and family, life would be significantly more difficult without you.

you for listening and reading through this description

violent amounts of love!!!!
