New Music: Crybaby Apprentice

TL;DR: listen to EP Pathwork here

During the initial covid isolation, friend Andrew and I started playing around with what we called "horizontal" song writing as an experiment. We released a single I wrote about here and it randomly got added to a pretty rad tape compilation for Infinito Audio Network.

Well, that magazine/label did ask us if we had more music for a solo tape. We did not have more music but decided to get to it, deciding to try and write a thematic EP.

The theme ended up being something like "spooky love songs" or perhaps "romance with ill intent" and we ended up with 6 tracks we were pretty proud of! Unfortunately we did take a long time to do so – by the time we sent rough mixes to Infinito they either didn't like what they heard or had moved on and decided they didn't want to release the tape.

We did kinda just sit on it for a little bit, wondering if we should try to reach out to other small labels for help on physical copies, distribution, outreach.... but it does seem like that kind of work (sending countless emails) doesn't excite Andrew or I enough to do it effectively.

So, finally, here it is! The drums were written by friend Pat Coyle and the EP was mastered by the ever-kind David Klug
