about

The plan was to release this on Pleasence Records in 2018 when we were really pushing that label a lot.

Our last show was at the last Ottawa Explosion Weekend. Priya was about to move to Texas and I think I was temporarily just so disillusioned about playing and making music that I swore to myself that I would never play another show and so this album got shelved. I remember performing that show and just feeling completely stupid and exposed like I hadn't in some time. I think I was really still feeling fucked up about Century Palm and being half-in-half-out.

Driving back to Toronto, I told myself a very strong story that I was too old to be doing music, and I convinced myself that no one would ever give a shit. Waa waaa waa.

I am starting to make music for the first time since 2018, and I think the 2 year hiatus has me realizing that the only one I ever made music for was myself, and that if even one other person heard the song it was worth it. Being in bands that had attention (Ketamines / Myelin Sheaths / Moby Dicks / Century Palm) was nice but corrupting.

I'm really putting this up for the archives, and I also think these songs fucking rule. I really like "Turn it Around" and "Culture War Donner Party"
