formal introductions

Alright, alright here it goes. Hi, I'm Thomas Way, and this is the blog for my music project, american hyenas.

The music is primarily synthesizer based, and usually has a lot of backround noise. All of the songs are extremely valuable to me, as they come from various parts of my personal life. I also write far too often from a pessimistic perspective, but I'm working on turning that around, and broadening my range of feeling.

I'm well underway with my debut ep, "we're not getting any younger". One new song is on my myspace page, along with three old tracks, and I'll probably put another one up after I release the record.

The album is about becoming a realist, moving past high school, trying to find some action, camping, the digital age of music, falling madly in love with someone you know way too much about, nostalgia, siblings, and illness, among other subjects.

I am going to put a link for a free download of it on here, as well as my myspace, as soon as I get all the kinks out.

I am also going to use this blog to list shows I will be playing, announcements regarding new songs/albums, and just as a general space to ramble the night away.

Here's to hoping you check out the songs and feel something nice.

thanks
