(single - 2013 - self-released)

This is just about everything that you could hope to accomplish with a dark song like this.  Every nook and cranny is filled with something interesting, yet it doesn’t feel forced or busy.

The Most Beautiful Ugly + Eye of the Beholder is pretty clever, in my opinion.

London , UK
(Fix My Life/We Are Enough - 2013 - self-released)

At this point, it would be worth mentioning that this week’s offering is mostly a “Best of the Waiting Room, Feb-March 2013”. I did not intend for it to happen this way, but here we are. As for this song, it is one that I will surely love for the rest of my life, fixed or not.

Coming out of “Fix My Life”, your brain is now going to be slaughtered and left as a pulsating gooey pulp.

This is a solid album that deserves your attention and money. This song is murky and impossibly cool.

(Crawling up the Stairs - 2013 - Merok Records)

It sounds like Radiohead, but I like Radiohead, so I don’t really care.
