All the LO-FI drama you can stomach...

About Me

Andrew Rain, Music My music is very gnome-like, meaning it could've easily be made by gnomes, yet it was not.I have a phobia of being summarized... but my interests lay mostly in world domination, bally hoo, tom foolery, serendipitous shennanigans, chaos, creative types, and people with odd hats. Some say "patience is a virtue" But I say "It is a waste of time" So what are we waiting for? Let the Renaissance begin... MY REAL BIO: Songs posted here contain all the raw unrequited drama, and heartache you were missing in your life*. These are under-produced songs that I hammered out in my living room. I am a multi-instrumentalist and play/sing all of the parts. Hello and welcome to my lo-fi wonderland. My musical journey began way back starting with a garage band called the Vulcan Gas Company-- Hey Ric. My next step was Producer Jim Wirt (Fiona Apple, Live, Incubus) asked me to join on as guitarist. We proceded to play every dive around. I have played with quite a few artists. One honor was getting to play guitar and sing with Johnny Cash later in his life. My interests now focus in the direction of songs, production, tomfoolery, ballyhoo, shennanigans, swashbuckling,and doing Independent film scores. Because these people are true artists, I dig working with them. Andrew RainFOLLOWING IS MY BULLSHIT BIO, PLEASE BOW AND SAVOR THE MOMENT:Enjoy..vivid images of your chaotic world through a window of rain... let's frolic through the lush enchanted magical forest on a wonderfully impish cerebral journey with aNdReW rAin.Before we embark on this wonderous journey, let us first mix up a strong medicinal potion, a cocktail shall we?Start with an ample shot of drama, add a jigger of sickeningly contagious dark ambient pop music, toss in some classic cry baby EMO "nobody loves me" crap-- then throw it all up in a martini glass, shake it don't stir it! And then drown your sorrows. Turn down the house lights and join in the ceremonies...Become a living anachronism as your journey takes you to fantastical new places. *(disclaimer) This music may not cure depression, re-create the sexual revolution, or make brainwashed people suddenly wake up...but it is a start.Andrew RainPurchase music here: Andrew Rain

Paul is Nervous

I did not mean any disrespect to Sir Paul in this tune, just reality. Hardly anyone mentions the words "George Martin" in the same breath as the Beatles. So in passing, I do dare tread on his sacred g...
