SWAMP EMO LIVES! 💖🔥⚜️ This EP is so special to me. I learned to record this year to make it, had it mixed/mastered by a good friend and the artwork was edited by my wife and another close friend. It would mean a lot if you'd check it out!
Swamp Emo update ⚜️🎶💔
I wanted to address Jared's absence from socials. They lost their last project over a similar health problem and I can't watch it happen again. They finally let me post this under the condition I show y'all these pictures 😅
- Jared’s wife
Why is positive music 10x harder to write? 😅 I'll be trying to rhyme something like "it's so gorgeous outside" and my brain goes "it'd be nice if I died" 💀🤷♂️
We missed the chance to promote it but Jared was featured on a really special YouTube Channel last week! 💖
@uhaveuntillunch
vids are songwriting sessions with strict 30 min limits. He told me to post the link below for ✨algorithm reasons✨🙄🤷🏻♀️😅
but this is my FAVORITE part 🔥
I have a bad habit of blowing up my social life every time I hit too big of a problem. To keep me from fully retreating into the woods, I'll be posting one swamp pic a day for presumably the rest of my life. This one's called "Gone fishin' (see ya in three weeks)" 🐊⚜️💖
Job interview day!
"Can you explain this gap in your resume?"
"Yeah I was makin emo...uh electronic motivational software. It basically makes peasants like me work even harder"
Got a chance to talk to my friend’s little girl who was just diagnosed autistic. She thought it was so cool to meet an adult with the same diagnosis. I showed her my music and some of the nice things people have said about it and now she wants to be a songwriter too 💖😭
Bitter South is about to cross 5k on Spotify and I can't thank y'all enough. Sending all my love straight from the swamp. Hope y'all know you folks have changed my life and I got your back forever 💖🔥
Really felt like sharing what came out of today's writing session 💖✨ thank y'all so much for the support yesterday. A lot harder to feel alone with so many folks wishing you well
Welp. Spent all last week in the hospital with my mom and then my Grandma decided to have a stroke yesterday 🤷♂️😭 the emergency room folks all know me by name now 💀 told em to follow me on twitter so hello to any staff from Rapides General 👋 Hope y'all like weird emo
Trying to stay as offline as possible today and focus on getting everything ready for the release party tomorrow night 😅💖. If I stay up until it drops I'll never get to sleep tonight. Just wanna thank everybody for making my first EP so fun and exciting to make
My wife teaches 11th-12th grade history and her kids figured out I make music yesterday. Apparently they keep singing my songs to her now 😅💖 she hates it but I'll take those streams 🤷♂️💀
Unhappy to report I'm sick. Stoked as shit to report I have a Spotify artist page 🔥🔥 I know it's no big deal but it whips to take that step after thinkin about it all year 😅
Had a really good job interview yesterday and I'm probably gonna get it. Heading back into the forest to soak up my last days of being some kinda twinky musical cryptid
It's the last day of NB awareness week and I've got a few DMs asking about gender stuff so I'll break down how it works for me 🤷♀️ I'm pretty sure I was born with the heart of a girl who if she had been born in the body of one, would 1000% say she was born with the heart of a boy
PRO LEVEL PRANK‼️☢️
Don't try at home 😰
Tricking my beautiful partner into singing a duet to preserve the core memory of our souls uniting in song
🚨💀💣🤓
Watchin some of the first few VC shows and there are at least 8 songs that didn't make the EP. Thinkin bout throwing together a lo-fi B-side collection for Palestine. I don't have a lot of time but my heart breaks for these people. Idk what else to do 💔
I'm nervous to have lunch at my wife's gparents tmrw cuz they're nice but only speak Cajun french. This is not a bit. It's so rare that the language is almost extinct ☠️ When she told me when we were kids I thought she was full of shit 😅🤷♀️💖 very excited tho! It's super special
Ive been back on Twitter for less than an hour and spent over $100 😅💀💖 this is one of the best releases of the year and you'll kick yourself for missing it!
These numbers are crazy. Thank y'all so much for checking it out. In March of '23 I made a shitpost about starting a "Swamp Emo" band and would never have believed today would really happen. Can't wait to show y'all the next one! 🖤⚜️💔
Release days are crazy! Ive pretty much stood in place all day responding to everyone's unbelievably kind words 💖🫂 I think we might get this thing over 1k on day one! 🤯 Thank y'all so so much. Couldn't have dreamed of a better debut for this project. Swamp Emo forever ⚜️💔
I lost the majority of my earliest music from being a dumb kid and not having internet until adulthood. About 5 and a 1/2 LPs worth of solo + band stuff stuff😭 💔 since then, I think of it as all gone but someone found a lot! Hate how nostalgic that health scare made me 🤷♀️😅
I love the honeymoon period where for two days I actually like my songs 😅💖 I'm so in love with the last 2 I wrote right now. Gotta get back in the studio in a serious way before I hate em again 💀
Daily Swamp 4
Wanted to thank everyone for all the birthday wishes 💖✨ it must've been a great one cuz I went straight to my guitar when I got up 😅 about to go spear fishing with friends but didn't wanna break the streak. Hope everybody's doing great!
My twitter was broken for the last couple days and it wouldn't let me comment but 🤷♀️ seems like it's working again 💖🔥 I would've just made a new one but I was pretty bummed about it
Can't believe I spent Pride in the hospital and now I've got a stomach virus for Nonbinary Awareness week 💔😞
Let's pretend I look like this today instead of a pale Victorian boy born bedridden with Tuberculosis 🤒
Feeling super guilty but I told a white lie to the fam about where im going and secured a little cabin to record in this weekend 💀🤷♀️ got a sick job interview on Friday and no matter how that goes, I have 2 nights and 3 days to actually work on music 💖🔥✨
One of my sisters asked me to play her favorite song of mine at her wedding tomorrow 💖 I wrote this for an indie band when I was 18 and that feels like a lifetime ago now 😅
The 1st Swamp Emo song was written 14 years ago in a trailer in Shongaloo, LA. in a bedroom with no bed and holes in the floor. It has been watched 361 times but 1 of those times was by Felicity Gremillion who says she fell in love with the singer the second she heard it 💖
Just got a sick delivery from
@95corolla
!! These little guys are S tier merch pack-ins so I had to give them a place of honor 😅💖🔥 I know exactly what shirt I'm wearing to my bday party ✨
Never done anything with the VC FB page and most people here only use that and TikTok 🤷♂️ so the folks who know I put out some music keep talkin to me like it flopped 😅 "gotta start somewhere" "maybe next time" "do some covers and folks might actually listen!" 💀 It's the best 💖
We have been in the bead section of this Michael's for half an hour just ranking the texture, weight and sound of each strand 💀💀 most autistic behavior in the world 😅💖
What a cool email to wake up to 💖🔥✨ I only looked at the stats after the first day, week and month before I sent that artist app to the shadow realm 🌀☄️ tysm to everyone who's listened! 🙏 Hope to have EP2 out before the end of the year but I'm trying not to rush
💜💛💚
Just went fairy hunting with my godkids and it was our most successful one yet! 🧚♀️🧚🧚♂️ We found a portal, a fairy house, some magic residue and even the little leaves they use to dance on the bayou at night 😅💖✨
Friend just brought me over some loquats (or Japanese plums) which are an incredible fruit you can't buy in stores. They're too easily bruised to be shipped but if you get the chance, you gotta try em! They taste somewhere between a plum and an apricot
VC wouldn't exist without Acid Flashback at Nightmare Beach 💜💚
When I found this community Lonny was one of the first artists I heard. The amount/quality of projects like that gave me the push to try something solo. I even namedrop Lonny in EP2
😅🤷♀️💖
Pullin the trigger and making a Lo-Fi ep. I'm sittin on a ton of songs that I wanna move past but they aint bad enough to throw out. The punkish vibe the project had before the break is goin out the window til I can do somethin full band 🤷♂️ starting this weekend. I need to do it
I listened to
@themerrier505
all day, wrote a cool song, bought a video game, finished the Fallout show and now I'm in bed reading Earthsea while me and Felicity discuss which kind of pie we think the other would be. Goodnight twt 💖
