TRACK LIST

T1: goforthepunch!

In the stall

Blink all the blood
Into the sink

Go for the punch

Baby you drive me crazy
Baby you make me see things
That aren't even there

Let's go for a walk
We don't have to talk
Let's go for a drive
Ditch your 9 to 5

Let's go for a walk
We don't have to talk
I just wanna see
Your head shot off

Baby's got a death wish
Ahh, ahh, ahh

I hate all your friends
Glad you're dead in my bed
I hate my life
Glad I took yours instead

VESSEL!

I wanted to see if I could make an EP before 2024 ended. I clobbered together this, starting mid december-now. It's rough as hell. Awkward singing, guitars have so much background noise and it's not mixed well at all.
But it's done, and surprisingly I still like it. That's all I need to keep myself going.
Thank you Ian for the drums, you really help me complete tracks and it's great making music with you. Thank you Q for letting me use your guitar strap, as well as letting me host my music on third culture.

Read below for more rambles.

T1: I have a really hard time coming up with lyrics on the fly, this really simple song took me hours to write. You can hear me struggling to sing. This is also the first song I tried screaming. It hurt my throat so I'm definitely not doing it right. The start is just okay but I really like the chorus. Despite my awkward vocals I really like the instrumental. This one is inspired by Cropsey and Guggenheim Wax Museum - Have a Nice Life. The bells on Cropsey are genuinely haunting, and I like the singing style on GWM.

T2: This one is my favourite out of the bunch. Though, the electric guitar sounds awful haha. I would've rerecorded but there's not many chances to in my household. I wanted to sing over it but I had no ideas. I took a lot of elements from Stabilizers for Big Boys - Panchiko, song structure and acoustic plucking.

T3: breakcore/vapourwave is severely easy to make.

T4: I've had this chord progression stuck in my head for a long time. I took inspo from flutter from Julie. For the lyrics, to write a love song that barely constitutes as one. I like this one a lot.
