Thanks, Eric! Gonna keep it going with meat cyborgs, will seem appropriate if they get grilled up at a summer bbq.

Nice. Is there a Cronenburg reference here? I've been on a serious Cronenburg kick. Haven't seen Scanners yet.

Ha! Honestly I totally forgot about this movie and have never seen it. I remember thinking to google the name because it sounded familiar but forgot, just took the title from the lyric because it sounded like a sci-fi movie. Doh! Well, I guess I have to watch scanners… thanks for checking it out!

My pleasure. It’s been really wonderful finding others distributing music through substack too. Feels like a weird but cool little village.

For sure. Glad that I recently found your project via Kevin Alexander- very nice stuff you've got going with the songs/4-track recordings!

…head explosion gif (to celebrate scanners)…the sunmer vibe is strong in this one…sunlight poking through pine needles on a curvey road at dusk…

ahh, glad it invoked both summer and exploding brains. Song of the summer and song of the bummer? Cheers mate.

Hey Miter, I really like this! Very catchy and cool lyrics. Reminds me of kind of a Dire Straits vibe but more twinkly. Really cool, I like all the instrumentation a lot - it sounds really precise and composed. 🖤🖤🖤

Thanks so much for listening, SweetSweetHeart! Yes, love it, more twinkly Dire Straits, that is a good reference and an influence for sure, I wasn't quite sure where to place this song so thinking about it that way helps. I do think i tightened up my production a bit on this one, not being a perfectionist is both a strength and weakness :) Appreciate you!
