A Denial by Chess Pains

A Denial documents my journey coming out in Dublin in the 2010s. The goal was to make very sad songs lyrically that are poppy and happy aesthetically. It was recorded and engineered on and off over the last 10 years. I decided to do everything myself which is probably why it took so long to finish.

Thank you for listening.
