    MY FRIEND THE CHIMPANZEE – “TWIN MOONS/BEARWOLF, PT. 1”

    “Thematically, the lyrics draw their inspiration from Haruki Murakami’s brilliant novel 1q84. The twin moons that characterize the parallel universe in the story gave the song its name and inspired us to produce an alternate (or parallel) version of the track.” – My Friend The Chimpanzee

  • ONEDAYBEAR – “MARRY YOU”

    ONEDAYBEAR – “MARRY YOU”

    There are some unique qualities to his music, which by the way carries a very analog sound. It is filled with color, interesting drum grooves, as well as catchy melodies.
