about

This is an acoustic rendition of R.E.M.'s ninth studio album, "Monster" that I've been working on with some friends for the past few years. After posting our first acoustic Monster collab, "Circus Envy" back in 2016, Carey commented that she wanted to do the entire album as acoustic tracks, and I took that ball and ran with it.

Lastly, I would like to thank thank my musical friends, without whom, this release wouldn't be here. Thank you to the people that listen and enjoy the music that I'm putting out there. And most importantly, thanks to Michael, Pete, Mike and Bill. If it weren't for you guys, I honestly don't know if I'd even be a musician today.
