Starlight on the Skyline (recordings from Feb 2009 – Jan 2010)
Overall, this might be my favorite album. A snapshot of 2009 in which lots of things were far more simple than late 2010 and everything after. Maybe a bit too heavy on the creepypasta (why did I use two of them?) but I don't regret anything here. Tones is the lone throwaway track, but even it has its reasons for being here.
The title was my attempt at having a Jandek-esque title. I like the Chernobyl cover, though I kind of wish I had made it black and white and added some actual starlight to the image. But that might be too literal.
