Remember what I was saying about the most recent EP, how it was restrained and I only allowed myself minimal tools? Well its doppelganger is done and available here. The only thing I didn't allow myself to use on this one was discretion. It is real sounds run through the digital wringer, as well as some unreal sounds through same said wringer. Most of it is played on a keyboard. Some of it is loops and samples. There are a lot of delay modules at work here. A lot. But fear not, this music is not cold, clinical or lifeless. It's the 21st Century; computers are alive now. If you liked Creatures To Feed, you might even like this too. If you didn't, there's an even better chance you will. And there's a Cyndi Lauper cover. Everybody likes Cyndi Lauper.

The first of two Spring EPs, Creatures To Feed, is available for streaming and buying and downloading. This collection of songs was recorded with just guitars and piano and voices. No fancy editing or sweet tempo-based delay effects or triggered drums (that's all reserved for the second EP). Just single takes of guitar and singing together fleshed out with some other real instruments with vibrating strings. A return to simpler techniques. A cleansing ritual before the digital Bacchanalia of this EP's evil twin, Faux Romantic.
