notes: 'I wrote these songs immediately after attending Furality Umbra, my first VRChat
  event.  I was inspired by the immersive world and diverse programming that ultimately
  brought in more than 20,000 attendees over the weekend.  By Sunday evening, these
  songs were basically pouring out of me, and I was really surprised by the ease with
  which I was able to write and record them.

  I''ve been listening to a lot of songs by bands like boy pablo, Swimming Tapes,
  and Sun Daes recently, and making this album seemed like the perfect excuse to really
  dive into that jangle/bedroom/dream/indie pop aesthetic.  I was also heavily inspired
  by Danny Grey''s boy pablo music videos, some of which were filmed in previous Furality
  worlds.

  I really hope that you enjoy these songs and have as much listening to them as I
  did making them!

  Special thanks to Ro Panuganti, Drew Gibson, Gryff, and Dima Foxpaws for listening
  to these tracks and giving helpful feedback, all of which ended up in the final
  tracks.  And yes, Gryff, I left in the horns on the last track; thank you for the
  suggestion.

  Special thanks to Tsuyoto for showing me around VRChat, taking a ton of photos of
  us hanging out together at Furality Umbra, and ultimately inspiring me to hang out
  in VRChat more and write original music based on my experiences there.

  Special thanks to Triac for giving me the computer that allowed me to get on VRChat
  in the first place.

  Special thanks to the Furality team and the world they created in Furality Umbra
  that inspired me to write and record these songs.

  Of course, huge thanks and much love goes to my partner, Denver, who listened to
  these songs over and over and is probably sick of them by now.  Huge thanks also
  to my parents who have always supported my musical endeavors.
