Lo fi, exp, folk from Maryland based starry cat. Thanks to starry cat for the download! Consider consider donating/paying for this download. The worthy reason below id from his bandcamp page, "so this is an album i wrote and recorded solo pretty recently while taking a break from the julia brown studio sessions&stuff. i was initially planning to keep it kind of secret and sell physical copies of it at julia brown shows, since some of the songs might end up being julia brown songs later on. however we found out recently that caroline (our viola player/singer) is sick and has to get multiple surgeries soon. that sucks. also she can't eat cake for like a long time which is awful. caroline's one of my best friends and one of the most talented people i know and it sucks she has to go through this and it sucks even more because i know it's a lot of money to get everything she needs done. i wanted to try and help her with everything so i figured i'd release this album now instead of waiting and hope that if you like it (or wanna be supportive) you'd pay for it. we set it up so whatever money donated here goes straight to carolines paypal to help pay for whatever medical stuff she needs. if you've followed me or my music for a while you know i don't like to ask for money but this is kind of a rare occasion. if you can't afford anything you can still download it but it'd be rad if you shared it i guess so maybe other people will see it. idk what to expect from it but honestly anything helps. thanks a lot. caroline's original quote was that she was "extremely sad" but she asked me to change it to "i am extremely appreciative to any amount donated, no matter how small" - sam
