Hey man a lot of ppl are baggin on the mac influence but I love it. These are your own jams lyrics and riffs. All of us musicians get obsessed and inspired by artists that we blatantly try to emulate for a few years until we can move out of that umbrella and incorporate our own flavor into our mix of influences and all the sudden everyone thinks you're a creative genius. Mac talks a lot about how so much of his music is ripped from older lesser known artists. Keep jamming brotha, sounds tight
Not bad for a 17 year old making music in the basement. I feel lucky to have been able to hear every song come to life track by track, instrument by instrument, lyric by lyric.
Dude i hope this just increase your rock-star/pop-star light, I´m from Brazil, and I´m enjoying your stuff... Keep this on! I really dont care, i like your stuff and your sound. I hope you have your "impetus" to rest of your career. Best Regards! I´m sorry for the shitty english
some dude on /mu/ was shitting on you guys in a "worst concert experiences" thread so I decided to check it out but this isn't that bad lol "I saw this band on the last day of MTB in Ferndale, they were called Hala. I basically came for Arkells, but thought it'd be nice to discover some new stuff so I showed up and decided to stick around for all the openers. Hala took the stage first, a quartet of high school senior white suburbanite boys, and every single original song they did was about girls. The lyrics were so fucking cheesy and predictable, probably the most unoriginal songs I've ever heard. But the ace up their sleeve? A fucking Margaritaville cover."
aaah finally, your stuff sure is one of this personal "once-a-few-month-" discoveries that gives me that good feeling that i gonna have a lot of fun listening the shit out of it and discovering it further. reminds me of a lot of other stuff, but not too much (except maybe that one very mac-demarcoish song). im really impressed and promise you a lot of attention. i want more!!!(sry for bumpy english ;-))
Got to give you props man, this and Seniors are great! I came across your stuff via a Mac DeMarco vid but it wasn't until I started reading the comments that I realised you aren't actually affiliated with him, music is so good I just assumed you were! Keep it up.
This is pretty good you'e got that new indie semi garage style down pretty well. Of course everyone is gonna wanna hear something new but this is tight as it is.
