Hey All, Mucous Here! On March 11th, my band Prefers to Hide in the Dark released our debut album "Boundless Eternity, Hereafter Torment". Influences are an eclectic mix of prog artists ranging from Gazpacho to Queen to Tool. If that sounds interesting, check it out at this link.
So late last year I found myself with some extra time on my hands because I wasn't commuting into the city anymore. With nothing but the internet at my disposal, I decided to find some people to collaborate with.
One of those people turned out to be my new friend Valentina (who goes by Dr. Wonder Woman). She managed to step away from her PHD studies for a few minutes here and there to write and record some vocals in her bathroom in Italy.
We had intended to do a full length release, but she had to go off to Denmark to be a scientist, and I have actual work to do sometimes, so we thought it better to just release what we had.
This one was interesting for me in that it was the first time I was given a set of vocals first, and tried to write the music underneath. Anyway this is the result. While I could probably spend more time with the mixing, I think the end result is kind of cool. Available on all streaming platforms now, or for purchase right here on the site for a really low price.
Around this time last year I was writing lyrics and putting the finishing touches musically on my debut album. Between learning how to parent a 1 year old, and coming to terms with the new reality of the pandemic it was certainly an interesting time all around.
On reflection, if there's anything I can say for certain, it's that God hates us and wants us all dead.... I think this sentiment translates nicely in my new lyric video below.
Enjoy!
