God 02:51
lyrics

Eugene O'Neil said that you couldn't survive without, what he referred to as ... now I can't remember what he referred to it as ... in 'The Iceman Cometh' ... pipedreams. That affected me very much as that struck me that that was absolutely wrong. If you got to strip all of the illusion away, and then build all the pipedreams and know they're untrue. But you can't build anything, except on absolutely solid ground. Illusions are okay, delusions are okay as long as you understand what they are. So, I suppose my plays are concerned with people, knowing the difference between an illusion and a false illusion; maintaining an illusion because you require it, rather than believing it to be a truth.

about

This album is a compilation of 4 of Slooshy Me O Brother's first records. Due to the recording method, and the time in which the records were recorded. It seemed natural to compile them into one definitive collection.

As with all albums made by Slooshy Me O Brother, this too is designed tell a story. The story itself is indecipherable, due to there being no lyrics, or secondary material to explain what it meant to be going on. This I feel is advantageous to the listener as you can impose your own narrative onto the music.

The vast majority of songs are made without a DAW, meaning that there was no use of a computer in any stage of the production. All of the tracks were recorded onto a Tascam 4-track cassette recorder. There are two instruments used, an old electric guitar with three strings and a Korg MS-20 Mini. Those were then fed through to an outboard effect, the Yamaha REV100, and the output of that went directly into the Tascam. All of the tracks were recorded between 2016-2017.
