about

Track 1-4: rough demo tracks I recorded in 2015 and have done nothing with up till now. Tracks 1 & 2 are full guitar/bass/drums, 3 & 4 are guitar/drums only.

"Skirting The Issue" and "Bottled" are my typical Crow-inspired space-thrash, with a bit of a heavy funk feel.

"The Horror" is a crude attempt to write a stupid sleazy horror/surf-punk kind of thing.

"Haemorrhage" was intended to be ugly primitive death metal in the vein of Cadaver's "Hallucinating Anxiety" album, but came out more like psychedelic black metal.

Track 5: "Golden Arches (Crow cover)". An instrumental cover of a track Crow wrote and played live during their 2008-2010 reunion, but never recorded properly. Initially named "No.9" as the band thought it was in 9/8 time. Whilst programming the drums, I discovered the time signature is actually something like 8.5/8, or 17/16.

Track 6, "Cascades": an exercise in ambient rock.

Track 7, "Rionuen": a little noisy fun with a riff I had lying around.
