I've written and recorded an albums worth of lo-fi tracks with me playing bass, guitar, keys and programming all the beats and midi, and now I want to turn it into a band to go out and play live.
First you can simply learn (and improve upon) what Ive already recorded, then we can start writing new songs as a band.
We would have electronic beats, with me playing live bass, you playing live guitar, and potentially a 3rd person to play the keys/synths.
Currently the music is mostly chill out lo-fi hiphop type stuff, but Id also like to start writing more 90s trip-hop stuff like Portishead and Massive Attack.
Heres a selection of songs for you to check out. If this sounds like your kind of thing, hit me up.
A Change of Perspective: The first song I ever made for this project

Suggestion of a Reflection: Better guitar on this one as I collab'd with a guitarist friend

Shade of Blue: Bit of a jazzy vibe, another collab with an actual guitarist

Black Black Ooze: Showcases more of a moody strings lead sound

Coffee and Scarves: Bit more upbeat and featuring a guest trumpet player

Weekend: This one actually has no guitar on it and features a guest vocalist (and a real music video) but this shows off the more trip-hop elements that Id like to explore too

I've got a bunch of other songs on Soundcloud and Bandcamp too, but Im sure that just these YouTube uploads will show off the current sound well enough.
