Atoner by A Shiba
Songs about 'atoning', recognizing one's shortcomings and trying to make things right. Written and recorded throughout 2023-25.
'Yearning Man', written 2024; originally about a gal, but time has shown that it is moreso about needing to reconnect with God
'Broke Zodiac', cover of an Animal Collective track, from their album "Isn't it now?" (2023)
'Cat Sounds', outro was conceived of in ~2015, the rest of the song was written/recorded in 2023
'Found you and you're safe', written 1 Jan 2025, recorded over next few days.
Admit, correct, and atone, so that we may live. Godspeed.

A Shiba is a small solo project by some lame guy in Texas. Initially acoustic and folky, soon came elements of field recordings, sampling, freak folk, and noise rock.
Later came math rock, slowcore and emo influences. We'll see what the future holds.
