(EMPTY)

Eccentric on the outside, deeply profound on the inside, (EMPTY) is a true masterpiece of a chip album. Every song has its own unique character and energy, but each bears the same cohesive strength that is typical of toasterpastries. For top notch songwriting and sound design in a Gameboy album, look no further.
Favorite track: PWRMEOW.

What ISN'T empty is this sound design.

about
All songs written, recorded, mixed, and mastered by Jack Daniel Young aka toasterpastries

FX and additional drums provided by a Korg Kaoss Pad KP-3

I'm not very good at concept, so this album wasn't made with one in mind.
If this album is about anything, it's about writing music on an obsolete toy from 20 years ago.
It's about learning a whole new means of expression and the growth and creativity that comes with it.
It's about spending every single bus ride and lunch break working on new material and seeing songs materialize over the course of months.
It's about trying to make something that I enjoy performing live.
It's called (EMPTY) because that's what every single song starts as in LSDJ before it gets a name.

This isnt chiptune, no sir this is nothing but dance viiiiibes and naaaaasty beats. Trey Frey just hits different. Sounds like i'm floating on a cloud of prosound mods in a sky of DMG backlights. not gonna lie though, one last stream would be pretty good... <3 Sorry I'm late to the party by the way.
