SONG SONGS by Reuben Ingall
This was gonna be my next EP in 2014, in the vein of Don’t Give Up (2010) and Dealt (2012). I wrote these songs and demoed and half-recorded some of them, then got distracted by microwaves etc, probs felt some won’t-even-start-trying-to-record-cos-it-won’t-be-perfect feelings too. I dug em out this year and made it.
