Music

This is all the music that we have officially released. Some of it is pretty bad and we don’t support it, like Microsoft doesn’t support Windows ME. Still, in all fairness it happened. We offer it for historical perspective only.

Carbon Footprint

We are proud of this one. It took more years to make than it should have, but it got made the right way and so far no one has written an unabashedly bad review of it. Adam hated it for a while, but is okay with it now. He hates it probably 3/10

Burning Up

April 29, 2008
This one we’re a fair bit less proud of, but you know what? We made a record when we were 17 and it doesn’t even sound that bad. Someone once said about this album: “For a blatant Bright Eyes rip off, you could do a lot worse.” Adam was pretty sad in high school. He hates it probably 7/10.

EPs

The Clark EP

December 18, 2008
This was a cool opportunity to do something different. Adam scored these 3 songs and a professional string quartet (QX) played them. At the time they said these were “cool tunes.” That’s a pretty polite way of saying “ehhhhh.” It’s cool, QX, Adam writes much better songs now. Still. Cool little exercise. Adam hates this probably 7/10

1. Red Eyes
2. A Manageable Mortgage
3. Song of the Part Time Insomniac

Foma

August 6, 2008
We did a quick EP after “Burning Up,” some of the songs predated the album, some came after it. This was the first official release as Sister City. It is taking a lot of restraint on Adam’s part not to bash it, but honestly the songs are fine. Okay. Stop writing mean things and deleting them, Adam. He hates it probably 9.5/10 because Defense has some cool stuff.

5. Kisses and Curses
