Dogs Are Cool, Deerhunter Cover

Jeremy and I decided to record this about an hour or so ago, it only took us two tries since it is a relatively easy song to cover. Jer was on drums, I sampled the original track and edited it and had it playing during the recording while I sang and played with the effect pedal. Hope you like it because it's just a very small taste of what we have in store.


The Ephemerals album we've been working on for quite some time has picked up speed and we're looking at 12 or 13 tracks so far that Jer and I are pretty comfortable with sharing. It's very...well...I've never done some of this kind of stuff before. It might be a little weird, but I'm sure you'll dig it. It's full of high frequency orgies, "psuedo"-screamo-noise chaos, free-form pedal effect jams, and a lot of awesome, crazy, stoner fun. We've also got new Hooker Vision artist Hostage Pageant featuring in an amazing ear splitting jam.

It's called "Nothing, I Know" and we should have it done real soon.

Overdue For An Update

It's been quite some time since I've posted anything on the blog. Since school is now over and it is officially Summer, I've had a lot more time for recording. The Ephemerals album has kicked off and should be done shortly. The original "artist-collage" concept was killed off due to the lack of contributions.

I've also had time to sketch out the next couple of Spiid works. Untitled, and recorded over the month of May, my next album is a completely different face and style for Spiid. I just can't wait to see what everyone thinks of it.

All of this new stuff will be coming as soon as possible!

Here is my new recorder I bought especially to record the final drafts of the next Spiid album:

Prom Sucks EP

To pretty much just sum it up, this is the result of 3 stoned friends without prom dates. Just kidding. None of us wanted to go. It was a joke idea to record a Prom EP at first, but when we all sat down together, the fresh ideas kinda flowed out. Angel didn't help at all with any of these songs, and I think that blows because she's the bass, the foundation. Jeremy did a great job of keeping the tempo and everything.

Update From Prom Night

Just kidding. Things have been way too stressful and busy lately. But I'm hoping you guys will be happy to know that a new In The Jaws EP will be coming very soon called the "Prom Sucks EP," Alexis, Jeremy and I recorded it over Prom Night without Angel. We always said we would just get smashed and have our own Prom party, but we never did. Instead, we recorded some loose, Ghostattica-esque type songs. I'll have that up in the next couple of days or so.


By the FUCKING way, can ANYONE tell me why I keep getting Asian porn comments on my comments section?

Happy Earth Day

Happy Earth Day everyone. Do something earth-friendly today. That's what the day is for.

The Night Owl's Day Dream

I began working on this in mid-winter, January. Like I said before, I ran through several different drafts of the album. And out of all the different types of sketches I tried I took parts from all of them and put it in this album. In a few of the songs, it's hard to understand my voice. I tried to use the muddy reverb to hide my voice as like an instrument, or ambient add-on to the song. I tried a few different things here, there is more beat orientated songs, there is more ambience all done with mostly my effect pedal, keyboard and guitar. After the many different tries following January, I finished it over Spring Break and decided to release it on my birthday since it was close enough.

I wanted this to turn out to be a sort of audio kaleidoscope where everything inside isn't exactly pretty. Not just colorful shapes and lights. The quality is a bit better. The flow is pretty interesting...it almost runs in a pattern flow of different types of sounds, see if you pick it up, man.

New Spiid Album, April 7th

Back in January, during the Awesomeous Coolemous project, I started a little something of my own for Spiid. A few times a week since Jan, I've been testing, retesting and running through several different sketches of my next album. Unhappy with all of them. I called it "The Night Owl's Day Dream." The concept was the difference in night and day from the view of an insomniac, to put it simply. But something else bubbled from the brew. On April 7th, the end of Spring Break, and my 19th birthday, I'm going to release the most mind-fucking Spiid album yet. After Ghostattica, I began an interest in bedroom recording. Since then, I have recorded 6 individual album works that I intend to call my own and never let them see the light of day.

But all of that practice and experimentation has given me new peepholes into my creativity. I want this to be considered the manifestation of an Aries mentality. Not all Aries are alike. But this new album really dives into the sonic-psyche I've been trying to peel away. Instead of hiding the scare, I'm going to share it.
