Personal Thoughts
After releasing Two Minutes, Vol. 1 in January of 2015, I didn't stop recording music, but I didn't do it in any kind of focused way. I'd get short bursts of inspiration, here and there, where I'd record some things I liked, but I never built-up any kind of motivation. To be honest, I didn't feel I had much of an audience, either. It was probably around the time I rebuilt my scary!records website that I started thinking about putting together a collection that included all of the random things I'd recorded over the years, along with anything that was decent that had been omitted from previous collections. I knew it was going to be a tedious process, so I just put it off indefinitely, until finally I didn't. I'm writing this after a grueling three day long dive into the material, becoming familiar with it all again, remixing and mastering it, listening to it over and over again. The funny thing is I actually like it a lot. The songs in the "Lyrical" section are some of my favorites, especially the lyrics. The "Instrumental" section has some nice, trippy stuff in there and the covers aren't too bad, either. Anyway, I feel massive relief actually putting this together. To name the collection "Closure" was meaningful in that I feel it nails the lid on the coffin of the past and now I'm free to do something new without worrying about not doing the past justice. Will I ever put together another one? I don't know. All I do know is that I don't want to do it in some half-assed way again where I have to deal with a massive pile of old shit again.
