it's okay i'm still your friend it takes a lot to shake me it takes a lot to bring me down well as long as i get high don't be afraid i'm still around and after all we've been thru things we've seen that can't be explained not completely if at all i'm impatient and impossible and get angry when i work too hard but i'm trying to transform so stay close but let go i'm impassioned and i'm popular with some people but not everyone and i'm trying to transform and most times i'm just fine all of my words are not beautiful some of my dreams incomprehensible fortunate are we to have come this far no turning back when the future calls

about

Things had gotten pretty complicated with my last album, 'mvrvbrmvr'. So for 'is here' i decided to take a new approach. 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. But 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 very insecure about the album, mostly due to my voice. But i no longer think of it as a total misstep, and believe it contains some of my best songs.
