SAT 010: America In Chocolate's cassette EP in an edition of one

a couple of days ago, i posted a video of a snippet of a new america in chocolate song. this is the second single for nine more songs.

unlike other singles, it will only be available on a single cassette tape until the release of the album. the scarce single seems like a decent gimmick.

also on the tape are four previously unreleased songs (including the "rare" piano demo for never go outside again's "toplesspic.png") and the only planned physical release of the two versions of "cnme" from the digital 12".
i'm not sure what i'm going to do with this tape. i may just leave it somewhere.

ten, i suppose is one of those nice, round numbers people like to use to commemorate things, so maybe it's "fitting" or something that the tenth release from streets ahead tapes is the first actual tape release.

SAT 007: CNME Extended Mix Single

I really like extended dance remixes of songs, so I made one for "CNME", the single from America In Chocolate's Nine More Songs.

It also includes a short pdf booklet.

A Pre-SAT Album (Another Archival Release)

This is the first album I made.
Tin Nurse was a band I was in in high school with a friend of mine.
The album was finished while I was also working on the first gleams album, which is something of a companion to this album.
We never did anything with the album aside from burning some cd-rs because we thought it was really terrible. It is not terrible.
On the bandcamp there is also a song we recorded in 2009 (while I was worked on Endless Teen and we recorded a live gleams ep together) and we might put up another short release from the same time soon.
For a few years we would played an annual New Year's show since that was one of the few times we and the people we knew would all be together.
We haven't recorded any new material since 2009, but I think we both consider it an ongoing project.
