about

Hello, and welcome to my midlife crisis, presented in the form of the first full-length Worm Quartet album in twelve years. Rand Bellavia once posited that any album you make is a concept album because it's a snapshot of your mindset during a specific period of your life (I'm paraphrasing here.) This album contains several years’ worth of stuff, ranging from songs I wrote ten years ago (the "kid" I reference having to put to bed in “10 Goto 10” is now eighteen and can goddamned well put himself to bed) to stuff I came up with a few weeks ago, so if the “concept” seems a bit fragmentary and disjointed, that might be why. Or I might just be a fragmentary and disjointed kind of guy. That said, this is my favorite collection of songs I’ve ever put together, and I truly hope you enjoy it. Thanks for supporting this “Worm Quartet” thing, I’ll keep doing it for as long as I’m still able to come up with new ideas and get them out of my face in a reasonably non-embarrassing way. Sincerely yours, Four Worms in an Asshole Suit.

This was my first MWAC album, and I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction. This album means a lot to me, and I partially associate it with helping me earlier this year in a really tough point in my life. I can’t recommend this album enough, just listen to it and you will know why I love it so much zattach
