JOSHUA TREE NATIONAL FAILURE
The first song I ever composed at 13 years old on my keyboard was commissioned by my little sister who requested I play her a song called "The Merry-go-round Song." I then hurriedly wrote a piece where the right and left hand parts were identical, and the unbelievably simple melody was repeated three times in different octaves to add variation. I was very proud of it at the time. Needless to say, the music I create now as Joshua Tree National Failure is slightly more advanced.
I'll Eat You Up, I Love You So
My first full-length album, "I'll Eat You Up, I Love You So" was my longest project to date, both in finished length, and also production. Some songs were finished a year before others, and some were under constant editing and revisions that entire time. The final product is something I feel is both cohesive and diverse, and it means a lot to me as well.
Yuletide Interlude - Reverse Version
I took the song "Yuletide Interlude" from my previous album, reversed it, sped it up, pitched it up, and used it for a few videos for TikTok. I was immediately highly pressured into releasing it.
O The Muscle Memory It Must Take To Stay
I consider this to be my second EP, although Spotify classifies my earlier EP as a single because it's too short. The featured track on this EP, "Matter Over Mind," was the most popular for a brief time until the instrumental track, "Yuletide Interlude," gained immense popularity for its use on TikTok. Fun Fact: the song "Lullaby for K" contains the first officially published reference to "Christina."
I Write All My Best Songs After Weddings
This second single was, indeed, written after a wedding. The friend referenced in the verse immediately recognized himself based on the description and events of the wedding, although he apparently is not familiar with Ted Danson, who I compare him to.
Love Lost
My first EP. To be honest, my cover of "Je Te Lasserai Des Mots" sounded really good when I recorded it, I thought.
Million Dollar Girl
This first single was recorded and released after the first verse was posted to TikTok and the video performed disproportionately well. If I recall correctly, it racked up a whopping five thousand views! Imagine that!
