We have a plethora of independent health stores near me so I don’t have any excuses to not take the plunge. Breaking away entirely from processed foods is my end goal, and veganism is a decent next step past that point. Thanks for the post!

Eggs are such a massive part of my diet I wouldn’t know what to replace them with. Vegan cheese is nearly inedible, and the ones that are edible are twice the price for a product that only just crosses the “edible” threshold. Plant and nut-based milks are plagued with issues themselves between the various oils and chemicals that make them significantly worse for your health than cow’s milk.
So in the end I’m mostly pescatarian with an occasional weakness for bbq chicken. I only buy eggs and milk from local farms and I’ve cut back on cheese as much as I can, but boy do I have a weakness for Reggiano.

Visiting ~music, for example, and having genres separated out into subgroups or specialties like vinyl or cassette would be really cool. It would make each group a catch-all for all of the sub-groups but still allows for more niche areas to exist within their own community as well.

It came about more organically than the rest of the songs: we were noodling around as a group and just found that sound and ran with it. The song was sparse at first, but adding the synth made it pop.
We all come from various musical backgrounds, but half of us come from hardcore so we were trying to take what made that music so enjoyable to us and translate it to a dreamier feeling. Our live sound is very dynamic and on the border of “too much” at times, but we know when to blast and when to reign it in. I feel like this EP is a good stepping stone for us to flesh out the sound a bit more for the full-length album.

The whole thing was self-produced by our drummer and recorded in a linen closet so there were limitations, but we really put our hearts into it. Check it out on Spotify!

As far as our workflow, it’s about what you’d expect for a quintet. We have two people who write the bulk of the material early on (guitar stems and vocals) and the rest of us build on that with our parts. We have three guitarists so emphasis is placed on making sure each part is distinct yet complementary. Bass and drums work with each other to lay down a solid floor for the songs, and once we have a full song down, we take our time modifying the parts until we feel like it’s acceptable. We hear our sound mostly for live performance, as it’s our strongest showing. Translating the sound to recording has proven difficult, but we’re getting there.

He has that ability to make being off-key work for the sound he’s created and it just makes it that much more emotional. He fills a niche that bridges the gap between folk-inspired artists like Phil Elverum, David Thomas Broughton, and Songs: Ohia and emo-inspired groups like Foxing, The Speed of Sound in Seawater, and Pianos Become the Teeth. Great recommendation.
Honestly I’m one of the oddballs who just doesn’t like the sweetened, oil-filled alt-milks (milk drinks? What are they calling them now?). I started off with rice milk and quite liked the unsweetened version by itself, but it tasted and acted like water when used as cereal milk. I’ve tried a few of the oat milks and almond milks but haven’t taken a liking to any except the Trader Joe’s one, which I assume is as unhealthy as the rest. I need to give soy milk another try soon now that we have plenty of data showing little to no effect on estrogen levels.
I’ll look into making my own, that sounds like the best option for me I think.
