This is a physical object just like you or I. It takes up about 6 cubic inches of space in the real world, and possesses all the thousand natural shocks that flesh & magnetic tape are heir to. Hand-lettered, home dubbed white C-32 cassettes, in white-backed cases with home-printed inserts. Only 20 exist.
Includes unlimited streaming of What Ails Us
via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics
On nights when I feel particularly depressed,
and lie down without the will to do anything,
I begin to feel that if someone were to tell me the punch-line,
I would laugh and I'd laugh and I'd laugh.
But on nights when I feel even more depressed,
and lack even the will to lie down,
I begin to feel that if there were a punch-line,
I would've laughed, already laughed, already laughed.
But I thought I heard it once in the sighing of the sea.
Yes, I thought I heard it once in the sighing of the sea.
It's in the color of the sea;
holy are its misty o-o-o-o-overtones.

Harrison Lemke - guitar, banjo & vocals.
I'm in awe of the stories Eric tells with such an economy of words here. The magnificent arrangements and weighty vocals, which seem always about to fade into sigh or groan, also help. Harrison Lemke
I made a video game, and this is the soundtrack by my Casiotone guitar pop / ambient / experimental music project. That's a weird digression but sometimes life is like that. Harrison Lemke
