Joseph Buechel This record is very unique in the way that the recording was used. I like it a lot and I believe the tracks are very sophisticated and well structured musically. Favorite track: Ticking of Your Bicycle.

Robert Fruchtman Pure, jangly indie pop, with plenty of twists and turns (like a lite version of Architecture in Helsinki). The recording limitations of this album are compensated by strong songwriting. Each track has something delightful about it, from the machine-gun guitar plucking that opens "Scales of a Fish in the Sky", to the thumping synth drums in "Ticking of Your Bicycle" and the brash lead synth driving "You're Lucky". Ben Talmi's cleverness makes this album one of my favorite purchases on Bandcamp. Favorite track: Ticking of Your Bicycle.

The dawn of a new era will begin Times up, give up and start over The dawn of a new era will begin Well moving on is just something i'm accustomed to It's comforting to know that I must start brand new And after all we've been through, how typical of you But I must thank you kindly, I must start brand new As summer turned winter into fall Well he learned quickly there was no difference at all I sang and cried and drank so much and damn fast I did fall I never stopped to notice she had never left at all When moving on is just a thing i'm accustomed to It's comforting to know that I must start brand new And after all we've been through, how typical of you But I must thank you kindly, I must start brand new

When my lips get frozen and chapped I know where I'm going, I know I'll adapt This Northeast air will shrivel me up Drain my waning memory of a time when I called this home I fancy that I'll see you there Friends from long ago stay true, true Oh I will come home tonight to find the old feels new and you, I know you feel it too but our tongues we will bite When my lips get frozen and chapped I know where I'm going, I know I'll adapt This Northeast air will shrivel me up Drain my waning memory of a time when I called this home I fancy that I'll see you there Friends from long ago stay true, true Oh I will come home tonight to find the old feels new and you, I know you feel it too but our tongues we will bite I should've seen it coming, it's not like we didn't want it all I should've seen it coming, yeah we wanted all, all Oh I will come home tonight to find the old feels new and you, I know you feel it too but our tongues we will bite

Come again, I could not hear you through your beautiful eyes Those beautiful eyes Not again, every waking moment you are in my mind, your in my mind So go, go, go, go, go and take my time, please take my time And I will know, know, know, know, know that you'll be mine Will you be mine? I want to be so nervous that you can hear our hearts beat Just as loud as we breathe Oh, I walk besides the ticking of your bicycle And I will know, know, know, know, know that you'll be mine Will you be mine? Here again, confined to my apartment I go out of my mind I'm out of my mind For you, again and again I repeat the same lines Hoping the truth you will find So go, go, go, go, go and take my time, just taking my time And I will know, know, know, know, know that you'll be mine Will you be mine? I want to be so nervous that you can hear our hearts beat Just as loud as we breathe Oh, I walk besides the ticking of your bicycle And I will know, know, know, know, know that you'll be mine Will you be mine? So come and get it, say you will be mine Oh, I walk besides the ticking of your bicycle And I will know, know, know, know, know that you'll be mine Will you be mine?

You're Lucky 03:47
I am trembling like a match that you ignite Please don't put me out so we can all burn down Kick it up tonight and let your flame ignite Flicker and be wild and let's all burn it down Close your eyes, savor the moment 'cause you'll realize You're lucky Draw outside the lines and scream for better times You kids find the time or you'll be left behind All the things we do for a girl that's overdue And so I crash right into you Maybe some other day Close your eyes, savor the moment 'cause you'll realize You're lucky Two lovers pass, are you afraid to ask? I think you are.

I can realize when I've been wrong but this is news to me It's the same each time we meet, disappointed undoubtedly She wilts like a flower in a light with no sun Times are so hard for the dreamers Failure is a human destiny, it teaches life is but a draft I can't seem to find a friend, I do not disappoint in the end She wilts like a flower in a light with no sun Times are so hard for the dreamers I have moved Moved on from me She wilts like a flower in a light with no sun Times are so hard for the dreamers

Bring me back to nothing age Hold my hands conduct an orchestra Take me back to that old place Shake my hands they are now your baton I want to live like that again To the means there were no End this lull I'm in For the sake of listening Now my age says everything My innocence no longer smiles Now that I hear I've lost the meaning Of listening and learning I hear nothing without a compromise I want to live like that again To the means there were no End this lull I'm in For the sake of listening For the sake of listening please Oh, what is left to do? Doubting everything I thought was true I want to live like that again To the means there were no End this lull I'm in For the sake of listening For the sake of listening For the sake of listening

about

Limitation breeds creativity. Whether you are making an album, falling in love or launching your own business, it is how you tackle the obstacles that stand between you and your goal that will define the outcome. 

The obstacles I had to overcome whilst recording this album were the instruments around me. Only having an acoustic guitar, a moog synthesizer, a piano and my voice. I wanted to create sounds that one wouldn't think possible using only those tools. I Recorded everything completely alone in my bedroom, the project was an endless learning process. From learning how to work my simple recording set up to noise complaints a plenty, it was all these obstacles that shaped and formed what is now the "For The Dreamers" EP

That being said I am extremely excited for everyone to hear what I have been stirring up while being a hermit. So, for the month of August the EP will be a pay what you think download straight from bandcamp. Download the album directly from bandcamp and there might be an extra little gift for you... Just saying, give it a shot.

Ultimately I want to thank you thank you thank you so much for taking the time to listen to my music and if you do choose to make a donation, rest assured all money will go straight into making more music!

Thanks and please enjoy the "For The Dreamers" EP.
