about

I made this album during my last year of high school. A lot of very fond memories are attached to this thing. The sound of youthful bliss before becoming completely jaded by adulthood. I was young, dumb and having fun. It's quite lo-fi and we never truly "finished" it, more just gave up on it. Casino was made a year later. "The Makeout Song" was my first, I dunno "hit" if you want to call it that. It got radio play and people who I'd never met would sing the song back at me. That was pretty cool. "Pulse Connection" still gets performed in The Cameramen's live sets to this day.
