written & recorded on monday. baritone ukulele & vocal, 3 mics, recorded live w/ no overdubs. wanted to challenge myself a little bit to keep this one minimal. it was a little tough to resist adding bass or the harmony i started hearing when i was mixing, but i'm glad i did. it also helped knowing i had a busy weekend coming up and i needed to have this posted early to keep the weekend clear!

big thanks to neon liminal for giving some close listens and mix feedback.

love that ukulele

Sounds great and I think the minimalist arrangement works in its favor.  Adding too much more might actually detract from it.  Although I will admit I swore I heard some sort of phantom vocal harmony at one point as well. Nice job pulling it off live as well!

Kind of a statued vibe there, friend. "There are demons making angels in the snow", indeed.

So beautiful. I am a little obsessed with the sense of space you create in your songs, a very physical space I can imagine inhabiting, it adds such magic to the music.... wonderful.

Ohhh, so nice. This ukulele sounds different to the ukuleles I know so far. More like an adult ukulele. Your singing is so emotional and it is an incredible authentic minimalistic performance. I like your style and this track.

Lovely stuff man.  The vocals are performed and captured so nicely.  The sparseness of the track is great.  So much space.

It's the strangest thing but somehow, at the beginning of the track before the vocals came in, the ukulele sounded lonely.  A perfect match to the lyrics.  Really nice work.

Man... Why do you have to make me feel all sorts of things... Hahahaha
Joking aside, this is really beautiful. I think this might be one of my favorites of yours. The quiet introspective vocal delivery and the minimal plucks on the ukelele. Really pretty, awesome work all around.
