Things Anyway

Four tracks of fragile, unpolished beauty. Stripped of their usual synth-heavy production, these demos and live sessions reveal the raw, lonely heart of the songs.

It's like sitting in Jason Lytle's living room while he plays the piano and tries to ignore a hangover.

A fragile, unvarnished look at loneliness through the lens of home recordings and tired live sessions.

Moments Worth Waiting For
the creak of a piano stool and the audible room air during the six minute home demo of track one
the fragile vocal strain on track two that captures the physical exhaustion of a morning radio session
