"It came about last winter, and the title pretty much refers to the beginning of a series of better things to come. I made most of this lying on my bed with my laptop late at night and extremely early in the morning in between going to class. There's no physical instruments and I've been splintering samples of sounds and vstis into thousands and thousands of little waveforms and piecing them all together on Sony Acid Pro. It's amateurish in its musical direction and phrasing, but I feel like that's the beauty of it. Each track goes into its own stylistic direction haphazardly, but it shows the range of what I'm capable of. Probably. Maybe. Not really. It's been a really slow and non-conducive way to create music, but hopefully this will serve as a sort of laughable benchmark of career progress that I can look back years from now."

thanks to Brad K for taking his own spin on my track.
The sound of "Slingshot Dakota" is really unique. One might be tempted to assume that just keyboards and drums are not enough to produce a hefty sound... but this band housed on the splendid "Topshelf Records" label prove this assumption wrong. Carly Comando's keyboards - frequently e-piano sounds with a heavy overdrive - enter an ideal symbiosis with Tom Patterson's groovy drums, and are led to perfection by the vocals contributed by Carly Comando as well.
