My Only One 03:50
we’re going back and forth look away as only we do if you find something now chase it down who really needed them but every second that turns we’re growing farther apart I bet you’ll find another one believe the lies they told to not be afraid and stuck with the choices we made our love so perfect afraid and stuck with the choices we made a love so perfect you’re my only one my only one you’re my only one We went back and forth turned away as only we do we found something else cursed it out what really matters? as we find another one we’ll grow miles apart it’s probably for the best now but there’s really no need to be afraid and stuck with the choices we made our love so perfect afraid and stuck with the choices we made a love so perfect you’re my only one my only one you’re my only one

Mistakes 03:35
I just want to feel the love I miss the days you and I had I think of you from time to time We don’t want to be here at all Can we just go back To when I didn’t disappoint And I don’t want to replace you No-one wants to be replaced Driving out tonight alone Dreaming of the times we that had I turn to the other seat and reach out Hoping you would appear there Can we just go back To when I didn’t disappoint And I don’t want to replace you No-one wants to be replaced All those mistakes we made We can forgive them too All those mistakes we made Are worth forgiving too

Oblivion 03:43
do you hear it calling are we on the same page promises of love and thrills throwing fire in your mixed up world Let’s get lost in our minds as we jump into the oblivion so lets get lost and slide away into the oblivion that moment in time was all we had the best there was and ever will be we missed that chance now I have seen never to return to me lost alone in the veiled sea

about

I recoded these songs in my apartment from December 2019 to March 2021. The title is in reference to a few things. One a lyric in the song round the universe but also a nod to a really great interview by one of my favorite musical artists in Andy Bell from Ride and Oasis and also a lyric from his (and marks?) Ride song called Drive Blind. I always liked that as a title and it felt oddly appropriate to me personally while making this.

I recorded these to fulfill a 20 year old promise to myself that I'd move to Philly and "make music". Obviously I'm a tad bit late. Regardless I spent a lot of time on these and they mean a ton to me for a variety of reasons. However I hope in some way they make you also pretty happy.

Thanks to AK, Lee, Danny, Jason and Alec who all were more than positive, supported me over the years in doing stuff and hyping my confidence when I needed it to get this across the finish line. Forever grateful.

If you're a fan of the more pop side of shoegaze this might be your lane. I describe the overall sound of American Analog Set specifically trying to write an Explosions in the Sky album and then to sound really shoegazey if their interpretation of shoegaze was parts of the stone roses, ride's going blank again, chapterhouse and spiritualized as well as some primal scream.
