This is a happy little tune I wrote over two years ago when I was first getting into self-recording. I recorded it in the wee hours of the morning when I couldn't sleep, and realized just how easily everything flowed when I was dead ass tired. Hope

A mixture of indie, rock, experimental, ambient, acoustic folk, post rock, and instrumental.
Hey, i'm Jake, and these are some songs and demos I've made (usually by myself) over the past couple of years. I've been in quite a few bands throughout those years, and when I'm not playing, writing, or jamming with my friends and other musicians, i'm usually fiddling around with music on my own and recording random song ideas floating around in my head. I like to play and write stuff that falls into the categories of indie rock, alt-rock, shoegaze, experimental, ambient, acoustic folk, jazz, and electronic (although I try to escape the confinements of genres as much as possible). I mainly play piano, keyboards, drums/percussion, and guitar, but I dabble in others like banjo, mandolin, harmonica, bass, and kazoo. I'm obsessed with weird sounds, I guess you could say, and I'm constantly trying to find new ways to create sound via arrangements, effects, synths, happy accidents, etc. Although pretty much all of my posted songs are solo stuff, I enjoy making music much more in collaborative efforts, and am always on the lookout for any possible jam session. Enjoy!

Story behind the song
I guess most of the inspiration I got for this came from parts of Brian Eno's album Another Green World. I even think I subconsciously channeled Eno's voice a bit, too, which makes it kinda sound like I've got an English accent. At least that's what it seems like to me. The organ, bass, and weird sound effects you hear were played on my friend's janky $100 Casio keyboard (you know, the kind you can get at Toys R' Us), and surprisingly it blended with the lo-fi guitar part really well.
