This is it ladies and gentlemen: the last and best yet recorded work of NCKM 1.0, God bless him. We'll miss his freewheeling rebellious young spirit and unending angst about everything. This album is a final reminder to everyone in the world (who listens, I guess) but most of all to me before the next Act of my career begins that this whole shitshow IS, in fact, going somewhere. I have *something*. If I can get this in front of more listeners and would-be fans and listen to their feedback, I think I'm capable of really taking this places. As I move up in my life and try to grow as both an adult and a musician, I need to start taking risks, putting in the toughest hours of all (ones you don't get paid for and nobody acknowledges as work) and not expecting shit for it except a better future if I continue to work hard and be patient. Maybe.

Anyway, what exactly is "hausu"?This is album is heavily inspired by a (three?)-month-long love affair with Japanese video games. I'm not saying I was tripping while playing Nier for the first time straight through in one sitting loving every second of it or anything, and I certainly don't think I was in a deep, very real, and very dark depression for a solid week because of that little gem Doki Doki Literature Club that literally everybody but me has already played and gotten over by now, but what I am saying is I hope some piece of the spirit I felt in my favorite moments of those games comes through in the music. Most of the games I played had music in it that while fantastic, was miles both ahead and far away from what I have here to my ears, but I incorporated some pieces and ideas here and there and occasionally I felt myself saying "This sounds like Silent Hill!" so I feel solidly that I've built something entertaining to people besides me with Hausu that actually reaches the musical ambitions I started out with, but any feedback any listener has is more than welcome. I will always strive to improve until people simply CAN'T ignore me or my vision anymore.

Thanks for listening. I hope you all enjoy.
