A Little SomethingSpiesPretending
Recorded on a four-track analog recorder purchased on eBay for $60. Guitars, backwards guitars, bass, simple keyboards, and simpler violin were played by Colorado’s oldest teenage guitarist, accompanied by the world’s tiniest drummer who works out of a guitar effects box on the floor. These are fairly primitive productions and will not sound good if played on a laptop without sufficient bass. (+ indicates more recent digital recordings)
Digital drum fills added May 2023.
