It was winter and I wrote some songs...

katsumashi artist with like 3 listeners strikes again this feels so. calming. there are multiple 10+ minute tracks but instead of being super complex and multi sectioned theyre that long to keep the vibe going. I could fall asleep to this. best ambient folk album I've heard so far tbh Favorite track: Grow.

dillon. as a massive fan of Sunnsetter, this is perhaps their slowest, mournful and dejected album. It grows on me with every lengthy, encompassing listen. Adore it Favorite track: með vatni, með vindi(with the water, with the wind).

recentlypositive Like an ascent to the afterlife. This album can be used as a healing tool for broken hearts or crippled souls. A personal apology and promise for the future. The tide is consuming the beach as you watch from the ocean Favorite track: Slow me down.

about

So last year around the end of the summer I suffered from a mental breakdown that I probably should have been hospitalized for but wasn't. So instead I left Toronto for a bit and moved in with my mom for a period of 4 months.

During those 4 months my one and only goal was to write music that was personal to me, away from all the preconceived notions I had about my own music and production quality and the expectations that I feel others might have about what my music should sound like.

So I did that.

I've been sitting on these songs for a few months not knowing what to do because like everything I've ever done they are not "finished"... There is still many things I want, but know I will never do to these songs to truly make them finished, but this is the same problem I ran into 2-3 years ago when I went to release a full length album and never did, because I thought the project wasn't fully realized or the songs weren't finished or I felt the pressure from people around me and on the Internet to create and or achieve a certain image with the music that I myself didn't understand how to achieve.

I feel that same pressure building again with this music, but where I am mentally these days is so far removed from that period of time, and to be honest I want to say I no longer care (even though I do). So my way of showing myself I don't care is to put the music I've made onto the Internet for people to listen to.

This time around I hope to create a little printed journal type thing that I will sell physical copies of if you buy the package on band camp. It will be about 10$ to get a digital copy of all of my music + the journal. Or you can just download the album for 1$ (or more if you feel like supporting my effort)

Thanks.
Andrew.

James is going to die soon
by Crywank

supported by 9 fans who also own “It was winter and I wrote some songs...”

This album is one of my favorite albums because of how raw and pure it sounds. The true emotion that comes from Jay's performance is more than believable and it's what helps Crywank stick as a proper musical icon. 10/10 would recommend to everyone if they were more than willing to give it a try. saintjimmy57
