The Quarter-Centenarian: new single-track release

2009-10-01T22:22:00.002+02:00

In a beginning effort not to hold onto music for very long before i send it out the window, a new single-track release from h,hg is available entitled The Quarter-Centenarian which was recorded, mixed and mastered in August and September here in Brooklyn.

You can download a regular-quality version of the track, for free, or choose to download the high-quality version for one dollar. Both are available at our bandcamp site.

Look out for more single-track releases in the future. Thanks, love, alex.

good day, internet.

taking a break from the self-karaoke scene, i have been making a couple songs in the past month, both of which will hopefully appear either electronically or concretely published in the near future.

one is a cover version of a song by a recently deceased mega star and the other is a new original track.

other than that, please send me your money in exchange for a glistening copy of our debut album plus EP, Sleeping English + Cycloptic Myopia, or buy it on itunes or somewhere else or download it from your friend and share it with your family.

more news soon.

love,
