Red Mosquito

Some original music I've been working on with my brother. We've named the musical enterprise "Les Freres Heureux," which is a joke from a Frasier episode.

"Clear the Entrance"

"Hilltop 52"

Despite my lifelong dream of fronting a big loud rock band, this is acoustic music, primarily because we own acoustic instruments. Hopefully you enjoy

I dig all three of those songs, KD. I think Clear the Entrance is the "best" in terms of all around songwriting. Though, I really hate when people use the word "soul" in song lyrics. I didn't mind it so much in that song, but for some reason that word just jolts me right out of a listening experience and makes me cringe. Keep in mind Black is one of my favorite Pearl Jam songs.

But my favorite of these three is Hilltop 52. Great little number, that. Very wistful and nostalgic in a warm way. Made me miss home and my old high school friends.

That's how I feel about "bliss" and "strife," Joey, so I relate. But hey, what're ya gonna do? Thanks for listening, buddy.

Pain is the biggest one for me. There's usually a better word to use.

Good stuff, KD. Hilltop 52 for me too. It tickles me where I tickle.

Good work on the recording too. Was it done by yourself or your brother? Nice and clean.

Pretty much why I don't like Amongst the Waves much. But yea, it didn't bug me much here.

I'm digging it, "Clear the Entrance" especially. There's a bit of a Decemberists vibe going on. Your (?) singing/phrasing reminds of Colin in songs like January Hymn.

I liked the songs... how long did they take to come together?
