about

Nothing ever goes quite as you plan it. I've never been better, never more in my element. Never more ready than ever.

This is gloom, grime, struggle, uneasiness, a little hope, and a solemn promise. This is shitty drums and bad samples, awful keys and even worse vocals. And a little guitar.

I've never been worse, more filled with rage and unbridled anguish. Things have never fallen apart this bad.

This is the last tape, at least for a year. This is me, before. The man and the fox.

Enjoy.
