About Me


thank you for coming. seriously.
erikino is a lo-fi, diy, electronic pop musician based out of new york, ny. unfortunately, he has yet to write a suitable musician biography. but rest assured that he has been thinking about referring to himself in the third person for many months.
for the remainder of the year, erikino will be devoting his attention to the process of recording his first album / lp / official full length release. it will be self-released and will be available--pay-as-you-wish--on the world wide web. a limited initial run of 50 hard copies with hand crafted art/jacket will also be available. check back as new tracks will be posted as they come, but for only for a limited time. feedback/criticism is always appreciated, so please share your impressions of the new material before it makes the album. thank you!!
