MESSY HAIR AND BOMBS OF HECK
I started working on this album in 2021 as the pandemic was winding down, and I set it loose it in November 2022. This dang thing is stuffed with drum machines drowning in cassette tape fuzz, exploded guitars, cheap key synths, and sounds ripped from 80s television. I guess this album is a love letter written to Saturday mornings as a kid in the 80s and 90s. Eating cereal while ignoring anti-drug PSAs that blast through the speakers while trying to drown the previous school week with cartoon bliss. I bet every musician makes an album like this eventually… one that’s dedicated to their childhood… so this is mine. Although, I’m sure I’ll make another at some point cause this was super fun.
WALKMAN WARS
I recorded this one mostly throughout 2020. Some of these songs were originally written as demos for my other band, Built By Snow. We played some of them at live shows, but never got around to recording them with the band. So once the pandemic kicked in, I just finished recording them at home.
NO CARES
I wrote these songs in September and October of 2017. By November 2017, I was recording them, and by January 2018, everything was done. No synths… just guitars, drums, and vocals.
ORCHESTRATED FUZZ
In 2012, I finished the second Oh Look Out album and called it Orchestrated Fuzz. These songs were all stitched together using bits and pieces of random recordings I had created over the previous year using old casio keyboards, a cassette 4 track, a boombox, phone recordings, and a computer. Honestly, I kind of broke my mind while working on this one... but it's one of my favorite projects ever. I also made a zine to go along with this album.
ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT
After Built By Snow went on an extended break in 2011, the demos of songs that were in the works became the first Oh Look Out Album titled Alright Alright Alright Alright Alright. This was about the point that I realized I could record demos in my garage and release them. They didn't sound perfect by recording studio standards, but they sounded rad to me.
