Le chat au café

Four brand new versions of songs I wrote before rebranding as Le chat au café. These are all about coffee, with one thrown in about bagels. I used to write much angstier songs than I do now, which you can see in the title track. Coffee Buddy was originally a song I wrote for my band Snow Dogs, but I wanted to make a solo version for this project. And my brother requested I write a song about bagels, and I just couldn’t resist dissing croissants while I was at it. Enjoy this mini album here at lechataucafe.com first, and feel free to download the mp3s for your own offline enjoyment!

커피를 주제로 한 오래된 노래들이 이 앨범에 담겨 있다. 예전에는 우울한 가사를 쓰곤 했는데 타이틀 곡이 대표적이다~ 홈페이지에서 스트리밍으로 듣거나 다운로드할 수도 있다.

1 Don’t Buy Me Coffee
2 Coffee Buddy
3 Bagels
4 Don’t Buy Me Coffee Anymore

Last year, I visited Paris, London and Scotland, and I’ve completed the trilogy of music based around that trip. For Paris, I experimented with stitching three songs together, while my London song was inspired by Paul McCartney’s medley songs that still retain the length of a single song. But I made a proper little album for Scotland, since that trip was longer than the other two and I had more to say. You can download Paris, London and Scotland by clicking these links or stream them below!

작년에 유럽의 파리, 런던, 스코틀랜드를 여행했는데 그 여행과 관련된 노래들을 완성했다. 들으면서 각 장소의 분위기를 충분히 느낄 수 있다. 이 사이트에서 직접 다운로드할 수 있고 아래에서 스트리밍도 가능하다.

Ding dang! Lechat Vous Aime is a full cover of The Beach Boys’ 1977 album Love You. I couldn’t wait until the anniversary of the album on April 11 to release it. Some songs feature altered lyrics, notably Johnny Carson which has been changed into a tribute to Brian Wilson. And the album art was made in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. You can download the album here.

드디어 내 Beach Boys 커버 앨범이 나왔다. 1977년 Love You 풀앨범을 커버한 것이다. 수정된 가사도 있다. 특히 Johnny Carson은 Brian Wilson에 관한 노래로 바꿨다. 그리고 아트는 동물의 숲 게임에서 만들었다!
