Never went deep on microphones or mount eerie but now I am going deep. Listened to the glow pt.2 for the first time and it paralyzed me. Sat on my bed with noise cancelling headphones on and just sat still and listened. Musical paralysis, incredible stuff. This has also reignited my LOVE for Dear Nora, and why not throw some beat happening in there for a PNW triple threat.

I can’t tell you just how much this album changed the way I thought about things. As a 15 year old who was starting to realise that things i was experiencing weren’t just normal, i desperately needed an outlet and this album was the first step in that. I would walk around my school listening to this album on repeat, writing the lyrics on the inside of my work books, drawing the elephant on anything I could.
The music just didn’t sound like anything that had been done before. It was like the sounds were conjured up by a forest losing its leaves in autumn, bare and stripped back to the point of rugged danger. I didnt quite get it on first listen, it was like i wasn’t supposed to listen to it, it was too intimate and lonely. When I properly got acquainted with it, it carried me through mental health diagnoses, tough academic years and many a tough breakup.
Love you Phil <3

tomorrow PI.FYI launches to the public
this project is the result of thousands of hours spent coding everything from scratch after I got laid off six months ago
no thiel-bucks or weirdo outsider money, just a pure desire to make something fun and true to Perfectly Imperfect’s day one goal of helping people find new things from real human beings, not algorithms or AI
a pure labor of love that I’ve been quietly plotting for two years and it’s completely self-funded from my (rapidly) dwindling savings account
so thank you for coming along for this weird ride 🫶 let's see where it goes
