Thanks for your kind words on Trendy Girl. I had so much fun with that one!

Ah, gossip tea. Makes more sense. I guess I've blown my street cred now. Fortunately I never had any!

Ah... Cafe Montmartre.. I too miss those days, and dream of similar days to come. Hard times come again no more. Until then, hearing fellow Madison musicians on FAWM brings me its own singular joy :)

I hear you on losing your damn mind with mixing! It really paid off for you on Enchanted though - I sure was enchanted listening to it!

Hi Ru!
Thanks for your comment on "It's Love, It's Always Love". I'm really trying to get some work on my lead playing so I'll probably try and add in at least a little something to my demos this year with the lead guitar playing. Glad you liked it and as far as vocals, it's gotta be emotive or nothing for me haha. Hope you're doing well so far this FAWM! -

Ah great to hear you again Ru and Tyler! Sweet little downtempo groove, love the flourishes that crash in like waves on some abstract beach. Always love your balance of elements, use of the guitar in addition to the electronics, and of course the vocals are the star of the show. Great start, keep 'em coming!

Thanks for the comment! Haha we don’t know what’s going on it that song either, I think we just enjoy the confusion it’s brining everyone!
