Swift-Tuttle by Devin Bateson

I could just copy and paste the Wikipedia page for Swift-Tuttle if you really wanted. But I won't and I'll tell you little about it. It's a comet.

This EP is called "Swift-Tuttle" because I had been searching for the name for my next album for maybe the last 2 years nothing seemed to stick. My girlfriend one night told my about the comet and I just liked the way it sounded. I though it sounded like a silly dance move or something. So here we are "Swift-Tuttle".

Pictured on the album cover is my Opa which is dutch for Grandfather. He died several years ago. He was a kind and gentle soul with sharp wit and always ready to tell me a joke. (even though I couldn't understand most of them through his thick Dutch accent). Really I just love that picture of him relaxing I feel it embodies who he was and the parts of him I strive to have. This picture hangs beside my desk. Reminding me to relax.

This EP was originally songs that where going to be a larger project. But that project is going to take me to darn long to get out. So I figured "let's just release these" cause really they are some of my favourite songs to date and they musically are aimed in a direction that i would like to head or at least experiment further in. They are sad. They are silly. They are full of wonder and confusion. And that's the outlook I have on life.
I hope you enjoy them.
