About this album
I can't believe I spent 3 years recording this album (very inconsistently!).
It's been the strangest time - this was originally going to be an album about daydreaming and feeling alone while stuck in my house during lockdown, but as time progressed I learnt more about myself and started to actually understand these feelings. While themes of daydreaming are still ever present throughout, I eventually realised quite late into the process that I'm actually just singing about autism, ADHD, and gender dysphoria. That's right, I've got the full wombo combo, and maybe I'll speak about it more one day in the future.
Tracks 8, 9, and 10 are more lighthearted fun, and have much less to do with the overarching theme, but they're songs I'm still really proud of and would love for you to hear. Fun fact, back in 2018 on a livestream I once said I'd eventually make a proper song about cats, and here we finally are!
All lyrics, instruments, vocals, production by TomboFry (now moonfloof).
I had some help and inspiration with the lyrics on tracks 8-11, from someone who goes by Papaya. He didn't want any credit but he's a wonderful person and I couldn't just not!

Lyrics
There was
A man called Rain
Whose cat
Was hard to contain
Oh Bean
Bean was her name
And their lives would never be the same
Terrorizing animals
Digging up dirt
Bean don't give a damn if your sofa gets hurt
Wiggling her tail and pouncing on a bird
Bean's a devious sort
Plotting trouble for sport
And poor old Rain
Will suffer the pain
Oh Bean
Bean lies in the grass
And cleans
And licks her ass
Some string
She's killed and maimed
'Cause to her it feels like a game
There's method to the madness
You just don't understand
Cats are mighty regal
Atrociously grand
Meowing and crying
'Cause food is in demand
Bean's a devious sort
Plotting trouble for sport
And poor old Rain
Will suffer the pain
Bean's a devious sort
Plotting trouble for sport
And poor old Rain
Will suffer the pain
