Kels Backyard

Kel's Backyard is a solo project of Eric August. It is a departure from his other solo project, Psychic Attack of the Psyduck, to allow him to create more noisy, experimental tracks that differentiate from the sound of Psyduck. Kel's Backyard was also formed to allow Eric to be able to play music live, as he decided it would be too hard/not fun to play Psychic Attack of the Psyduck songs live, since they were created almost entirely on a laptop.
Kel's Backyard sound is created mostly by using live loops created by several different electronic machines.
