The reception this project is having is way beyond any of my expectations.
I'm so happy that so many people are finding this to be a nostalgia trip to their childhoods/early teens.

Thank you so much to everyone for taking your time to listen to the whole thing, for commenting and sharing and special thanks to everyone who went out of their way and actually supported me on Bandcamp by donating some cash when getting the album. Every contribution, no matter how small or big it is, is of insane amount of help to me. It's been a few rough months for me economically so every little donation I get really feels like a push to keep doing what I love.

Biggest thanks to Alex Tanooki for giving me the chance of working on this project and trusting their idea solely on me and my creative process. The absolute creative freedom and deadline flexibility they gave me allowed me to make this the way it is. I'm forever grateful <3

This project has become the best thing I've done. It feels the most mature and I am excitingly proud of it.
Thank you to everyone who praised the arranging, production, mix and master, as well as the little nods I stuck here and there.

Thank you to C418 for creating the soundtrack to my childhood and for inspiring me fondly to create this piece.
(Also American Football for making me very sad yet comforted everytime I listen to LP1)

I'll be making some videos showing how this was made, going into detail with the production and arranging process, as well as the mix and master.

I'll post some useful links below for everyone asking for Spotify links and other things

Love you all, thank you so so much for all the love <3

It hasn't been the same since Alex took the dog and left the dirt house

when your minecraft girlfriend respawns in another guy's bed...

"yeah bro tomorrow we can build the mob farm"
"alright bro see ya tomorrow"

Last online 7 years ago

midwest emo be like: "man life sure is tough, anyways heres the most beautiful and complex song you'll ever listen to"

when she didnt place her bed next to yours 😔

joke's on you, this just is a really good post-rock album

I'm sorry Steve but Alex's dad got a job in a new biome.

This album is the feeling of realizing 2012 was 12 years ago and Minecraft will never feel the same as it did when you were a kid

I JUST CLICKED ON THIS RANDOMLY WHY DOES IT GO SO HARD

In my restless dreams, I see that town, Blocky Hill. You promised you'd open the server again someday. But you never did.

"I will now play music to focus." I pretend to myself.

Remember that house we built together? Our dogs are still waiting for us there.
But you're...gone....

During the dawn of AI generated content, this shows how much further genuine human effort and vision can go in making art. You deserve to feel really good about this and I hope you do.

if someone presented this to me without any context i wouldve thought it was a cool midwest emo album, it sounds good enough to be its own thing lmao

The houses grow unaccompanied. The iron you left smelting in the furnace tinged the quaint town. Our wolves wait anxiously by the door, for the day you’ll log in again. The caves remain empty filled by only torches of long passed adventures and ghosts of long failed explorations. In the infinite world of Minecraft, there is the beauty in the finite time to savor it. To everyone, I played Minecraft with so many times, every house, every cave, every diamond mined, I miss you.

The house from that American Football picture is from my hometown so i'm kinda famous you could say

This is unironically what growing up with Minecraft sounds like

But she would never be mine

I feel like all midwest emo kids have the same core memory: it's a cool summer night, you've been outside all day with friends. Fireflies light up the neighborhood. The street lights are on, that means it's time to come home... you come up to your house, toss your bike in the front yard without a care in the world. You can see a light on inside. Man, what a fun day. Can't wait for tomorrow. I'm going to hang out with my friends forever. Life is good.
