Archive Volume Two gathers all interesting instrumentals from 2001 to 2003 and brings them together into one whopping collection.

Archive Volume One houses 11 songs from my past, recorded somewhere around 2001-2004. I listened heavily to The Red House Painters and Godspeed You Black Emperor.

Aggression is a short album that explores themes like knifeplay, attempted suicides, allergies, and the public school system. The songs are set to the soundtrack of upbeat pop music crossed with analog and digital noise solos.
