about: Things had gotten pretty complicated with my last album, 'mvrvbrmvr'. So for 'is here' i decided to take a new approach. First of all, i began recording in 24-bit mode for higher fidelity. I focussed on simple, clear and direct arrangements. I did not hold back from singing, and avoided slathering my voice in effects.

There is a noticeable boost in recording quality between this album and the last. Tracks such as 'sprawl' and 'lifelong identity crisis' are quite crisp. I would later realize that my voice benefits greatly from a touch of compression and EQ.

Upon releasing 'is here', i didn't call much attention to it. I was actually very insecure about it--mostly due to my voice. But i no longer think of it as a misstep, and believe it contains some decent material.

Track Name: please destroy me: please destroy me
break my habits
eat my food and
spill my coffee
keep me up and
wake me early
steal my clothes and
lead me far away
far away from home

i am only one of many
everybody counts for something
all of us are less than perfect
this i know but still i find it hard
to feel the peace i need
take me far away
far away from home

followed the palm of my hand
like a roadmap
not the places i wanted to go
so i ride along with you
Track Name: lifelong identity crisis: underground
earth is brown
roots are ghostly pale
deep in space
deathly cold
source of every color

i want your skin
your point of view

my head hurts
my teeth hurt
my back hurts
my shoulders hurt
my eyes hurt
my knees hurt
my brain hurts
my life it hurts

new illusion
start again
Track Name: want to: i want to invite you to a party
don't even know where or why
think i'll ride my bike downtown
think i'll climb a tree in the park
i'm not afraid of illusion
i'm not afraid of being alone
and inside this confusion
there is a place where i am whole
i am just trying to be human
make mistakes all the time
but i never ask forgiveness
when i know my heart is right
Track Name: get it right: most of the time
my head was filled with lies
i don't want to be like that anymore

there comes a time
in everybody's life
same thing everyday
you know something must change

stars will align
nature shall provide
happy accidents
and i will get it right
this time
