My brand new solo album, Awkward Social Situations
I've been working on this since late May, and here it finally is. It's pretty much just acoustic guitar, vocals, and drums, with the occasional stylophone, piano, kazoo, and ukulele. Check it out here!

awesome. You should play them on your channel.
Thanks! I've been playing a few here and there, but I'll play more. I'm also working on a fully acoustic one-track broadcast.

It's pretty good, but I liked "Apply to Forehead" better.
They're very different albums. I like the songwriting, subject matter, and story on this one better.

Re: My brand new solo album, Awkward Social Situations
The guitar and drums are way out of sync on the opening. Are you recording the drums yourself?

The recording equipment isn't all that good, and the kit sounds like a dead cat being thrown on a trampoline.
No offense.
Ooh the hi-hats!

I know the recording equipment isn't good (the mic is horrible), but you don't need good quality to make good songs.

Oh and on that note (no pun intended) they aren't very good. You said you liked the subject matter better on this one? "You make me feel like a barf bag."

I apologise if you can't understand it. It's really personal, and it would make sense if you knew what it was about.
