about

Taken from press notes:

DEEMED “NOT CONVENTIONAL ENOUGH” FOR HIS MAIN OUTLET, ​THOUGHT JOURNAL ​IS AN ALBUM BY VANITY CONTEST’S BRADY MATTESON. DRENCHED IN FUZZY SYNTHS AND ARPEGGIATORS, ​THOUGHT JOURNAL​ IS AN EXPERIMENTAL LISTEN WITH IMPROVISATION AND NO CREATIVE RESTRICTIONS AT THE FOREFRONT.

THE ALBUM WAS PRODUCED FROM SEPTEMBER TO NOVEMBER 2020 IN QUICK BURSTS OF SESSIONS, WITH FOCUS ON MAKING THE INDIVIDUAL TRACKS AS ENGAGING AND HYPNOTIC AS POSSIBLE. THE TRACKS COLLECTED FROM THEM ARE IMPERFECT, DREAMY, AND BRIMMING WITH ELABORATE SOUNDSCAPES. ​THOUGHT JOURNAL​ IS A COLLECTION OF THE MOST UNCONVENTIONAL CACOPHONY OF SOUNDS DREAMED UP BY MATTESON.

THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN PRODUCED FOR CHARITY. ALL PROFITS FROM DIGITAL AND PHYSICAL SALES MADE ARE GOING TO THE NATIONAL INDEPENDENT VENUE ASSOCIATION, TO HELP STRUGGLING VENUES TRY TO GET THROUGH THIS. PLEASE DONATE IF YOU CAN.
