about

This is another project I made over the course of a summer. It was originally going to be titled "wannabe sellout" because I was attempting to make more accessible music when I am typically compelled to make crazy noise music none of my friends are receptive to. I changed the name because naturally a story unfolded over the chronology of these tracks. The "somebody" in particular that these songs are for was initially a love interest, but the protagonist quickly learned that relationships aren't always as great as they seem and can end as spontaneously as they begin.

The last EP was called "songs for nobody" because I was knowingly creating art for no ears other than my own. I've since realized that this was never a bad thing, as I am "somebody" too. These songs are for me.
