W Sides
March 19, 2021
I wrote about this album extensively on my old, shitty, embarrassing "blog" - you can find the blog post
Strange as it sounds, we were actually planning on wrapping up the band at this point- W Sides was meant to be cleaning out the proverbial vault of random off-cuts and random bits and bobs we had lying around, but as often happens, I just ended up adding a bunch of random stuff I made to it too. The name is reference to the Gorillaz albums "G-Sides" and "D-Sides", which are B sides records, however the joke here being that the "W" album hadn't yet come out- This album was compiled and made as I was making "We are Leaving...". The bandcamp description talks about this, too.
Electronic music is an obviously big influence on this record- I was listening to hyperpop and Sewerslvt alot (this was late 2020, early 2021, mind you) and I had just discovered how to make a kick drum sound really big, which is a big deal when you're 19. The album also has "60k medley", which we had sitting around
