From a barber shop to an AirBnb to a kitchen table to a “metro gnome”, we made a song 🎧

It took us a few months, but my barber Emily and I made a real song, and now it’s out on all the streaming services!

After picking a song tother, I recorded the initial backing track at an AirBnb in Miami. Then came recording her initial vocals at my house, her adding more vocals on her iPhone in her car, a spreadsheet picking the best vocal parts from 14 takes, figuring out when (and when not) to use left-and-right vocal tracks, and most of all, learning when to call it done.

At Emily’s wise insistence, our first song is a cover (let’s start slowly), of Sir Chloe’s song Animal. This is our first toe in the water of making music, published as the band CRIMELESS.

Here is Sir Chloe’s original version.

And finally, there was also the metronome, aka “metro gnome”, that came up in a late night chat.

God now I gotta find a fuckin garden gnome and paint it as the GNOME OF TIME

Or… a well-dressed, sexually ambiguous gnome.

Our expectations are grounded; this is just a hobby. We are not expecting to get rich off of this, or even make a dime. We just wanted to see what we can do musically and make something real happen. ✅
