Subconscious Nostalgia by Nine Zillion

It started as a writing exercise.

This album came together after deciding I would try to write and demo a new song every 1-2 weeks for as long as I could after not writing for years. The first part I wrote was the chorus to Separate Your Mess, which I sent to Max and asked if he would be a part of this project. Over the course of six weeks I wrote these 5 songs in the order they appear, each one being a musical response to the previous song. Max wrote all of the drum parts and introduced them to me the day he recorded at Robot Dog Studio, completely changing and uplifting my quiet demos.

Austin introduced me to the album's guitar parts when he recorded them over the course of a 2 day recording session at my house. We cordially argued about who was more flattered and appreciative, me or him. The jury's still out.

Ryan Cohen mixed and mastered this heavily layered, mostly home recorded album and molding these songs into one cohesive, dynamic piece.

Steve Sharon's artwork was the final piece of the puzzle. In my mind his artwork is truly the perfect compliment to this music as a whole.


Thank you for checking this out. This was a heavy album for me and truly a labor of love that I am so very proud of and I'm so thankful to everyone who has contributed and shaped these songs and this project beyond my expectations.
