A Thematic Primer of Bring Me The Beasts Albums:
1. Blip!: A bunch of instrumental shit I wrote just trying to vibe.
2. Everyday Jihad: This is a collection of my first songs. There is no cohesive theme.
3. Everything in the Medicine Cabinet Has Expired: The songs on this album are all comprised of bits and pieces of poems I wrote in my early twenties.
4. arrow.: This instrumental album is all about my relationship with the conception of God and whatever that means. The album is instrumental because I don’t believe it’s appropriate to convey feelings and thoughts about The Devine in words.
5. Antarctica: The bottom line is that in my mid teens I fell down the Lovecraft rabbit hole, and this instrumental album is my imagined soundtrack to a movie about a group of explorers who head to Antarctica and find out some horrible truths, ie, my soundtrack to At The Mountains of Madness.
6. Exiting The Butcher Shop: This album is about me dealing with me. If there are any Freudians out there, this is the one to analyze.
7. Unlove: This album is about experiencing, surviving, and coming out the other side of divorce feeling stronger and knowing yourself better.
8. We All Go Through It: I am too close to this material to ascribe an overarching theme to it. I really just tried to write good songs and paid more attention to making good music and being more intentional about production. This album, in a way, is about the constant mantra I have in my mind of ‘do the work, ignore the noise’.
9. I Did The Best I Could: I have made 8 albums in 1 year. This is the best of what I accomplished with my meager human talent, presented to you in full earnestness.
