Home, bandage off, with A&D. I love it.
DO YOU LIVE IN CHICAGO?
DO YOU HAVE ACCESS TO A LARGE VEHICLE?
CAN YOU HELP ME MOVE MY NEW BED AND BED FRAME INTO MY APARTMENT?
I’LL GIVE YOU PIZZA AND MONEY. DON’T ACT LIKE YOU’RE NOT INTERESTED. WE ALSO NEED TO GO TO IKEA.
I WOULD BE FOREVER INDEBTED TO YOU.
PLZ.
I love him and his stupid face, and his stupid band, and his stupid beard, and his stupid stupid, I hate him.

This album appears at face value to be nothing more than some mathy noodling that is painfully lo-fi. However, I urge you to take a closer look. Drawing Trees incorporates what I feel is one of the best elements of drone music into his sound: the ability to transcend song structure. Since his style is not bogged down by meter or verse, it prevails as instrumental poetry. Ideas constantly surface and dive back down into the quiet chaos of the mix. Listen to tracks like Misses, Garden Apt. and Starlight Mint to get an idea of what I’m talking about. Then listen to the rest of the album, perhaps while walking through fallen leaves, and become entranced.
If you like math rock, listen to this.
