A hodge-podge of studio outtakes and demo tracks recorded throughout the creative process of my first album, 'There's No Place Like Nowhere'. Tracks 7 & 15 recorded and mastered by Alex Busi at The SPACE studios in Huntington, N.Y. between August and October 2015. The rest originally featured material primarily recorded, mastered, between GarageBand on my laptop and various voice memo recordings from my iPod. (And this all was given a badly needed facelift with some better softwares and such on April 30th, 2020.)
Vocals on "Psycho Killer" arranged by Liz Wagner Biro.
All songs written by Matthew DeMello except "Psycho Killer" by David Byrne, "Wolf Like Me / Timber" written by Gerard Anthony Smith, David Sitek, Jaleel Bunton, Babatunde Adebimpe, Kyp Malone, Kesha Sebert, Armando C. Perez, Lukasz Gottwald, Aaron Davis Arnold, Priscilla Hamilton, Jamie Sanderson, Breyan Stanley Isaac, Henry Walter, Pebe Sebert, Lee Oskar... and like too many people to count (fuckin' Jesus, Ke$ha). Also, "Backstreets" written by Bruce Springsteen, "Astral Weeks" by Van Morrison, "God Only Knows" by Brian Wilson & Tony Asher, and "Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes" by Paul Simon.
None of the cover songs are for sale and are available for free to avoid copyright issues. In paying for this album, you are paying for my original songs only and the rest are a gift :-*. I'm sure this is legally binding before fuckin' Paul Simon comes after me or some shit. Anyway, enjoy!

A mesmerizing Rube Goldberg contraption of French house, vaporwave, -DMs both I and E, and countless subcategories across electronic and sample-based music. Matt DeMello
A peerless LP documenting one melancholic cross-country soul searching adventure filtered through grungy shoegaze and spacey folk of the highest orders. Vonnegut references compliments of the house. Matt DeMello
Gaelynn Lea won NPR's Tiny Desk Contest, and it's easy to see why. Haunting, beautiful country songs, laced up with weeping fiddle lines. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 3, 2016
