Blissmas!

 

 

 

This is a bunch of stuff I did over the summer. I was a little all over the place and really only got around to non-committal experimenting. But it was great and I loved it.
The first guy is a design for Dr. Caterwaul's Cadre of Clairvoyant Claptraps and the second guy was a promo flier for Wood Spider's summer tour.

Next month, I'm starting an internship at Plymptoon Studios under Bill Plympton. Isn't that cool?!

Crumbs - Hallow Tongue

Download: Bandcamp or Dat Fire
Tags: freak folk, experimental acoustic punk stuff, sassy junk, percussive bliss

It's like some crazy tribal jam of a bunch of raggedy kids who are all amazing percussionists and they're shifting from sassy stomps to punk ass steel drum grooves. And they sing hauntingly and ugh! It's all so great!

"I just think he's the devil."

Sweet Street Symphony - "Sweet Wood"

Download: Bandcamp (free)

Tags: ragtime, new orleans, street jazz, punk

Look! Wood Spider helped produce another band's album. Sweet Street Symphony is a New Orleans punky kinda-street-jazzy outfit but for a couple of tours up North, some members of Wood Spider provided backup. Mike did sound production and I did the artwork. The collaboration was deemed "Sweet Wood".

I just dunno.

Sorry, Blogspot. No hard feelings.

I'm making this post in my last ever class of college.*

*Well, this actually isn't MY class. That was this morning. I'm making up a project here. Anti-climactic, I know.

Jason the Swamp - As Is The Sun

Download: Bandcamp (free)

Tags: singer-songwriter, freak-folk, lo-fi, ambient

I don't really know much about Jason the Swamp. I was glad I stumbled across it when I did because it made for nice listening while wearily designing some iPad layouts. There's some nice minimal vocals accented by giant heavy, textural percussive swells.

I dunno. It's cool. It's free. Listen to it.
