Shameless self promo. Been working on tracking my next release which is an LP that should be (hopefully) out before the end of this year. If you like dream pop, post-punk revival, jangle pop, math rock, and garage rock, this might be ur cup of tea. A good chunk of the music was written when I was in middle school/high school except for my EP Never Better, which was written when I was a freshman/sophmore in college with my old bandmates (my first collaborative release!). I honestly cringe listening to my old music now but I guess that just means I’ve become a better songwriter. The new songs sound so different and I can’t wait to share them. In the meantime, I’d check out Too Close for Comfort, D-emo, and Slow Days.

shameless self-promotion

Sometimes you just have to let em know what kind of shit you're on, get them on the bandwagon. Speaking of... This is a song I put out a couple of months ago called "gazed". It's shoegazey psychedelic slowcore, in a nutshell. It's pretty okay overall, you might dig it, who's to say.

Not discarding school/university projects

My efforts now reduced to basically nothing but numbers on a transcript (I did not retain the knowledge in my head oops)

Intentional engagement

Possibly if you were on a stricter, parent-controlled and technology-restricted diet, you might have to replicate that by forcing breaks between episodes, only playing the album at home (no portables). Just a hypothesis I have, not tested. Otherwise, acknowledging that now you are more keenly developed, you need more acute stimuli. I suppose as a kid, stories were far more foreign and therefore wondrous, but having grown up, it's all been seen and so the stories have lost some lustre? In that case, best to seek more complex, nuanced stories and engage with them more purposefully to really extract inspiration ("meaning"). On my end, I've been writing on Goodreads and rym. Is this "cheating" by "forcing" a sense of wonder? Only to the extent that you don't see it as something you'd like to do. Otherwise, it's just an adult version of doodling your favourite heroes fighting their nemeses, play acting, etc. Analysis of this kind is only cold and incompatible with the warmth of imagination if conducted with academic rigidity (in fact even then, I might disagree ... haven't fully settled my thoughts on that).
