Not Self-Titled

The Factoid Club's last album from 2020, Not Self-Titled.

You know how Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon lines up with Wizard of Oz? Well this album lines up perfectly with an episode of a beloved 90s sitcom.

Only eagle-eared listeners will be able to tell which show and which episode it is.

Recorded in a basement. Killed spiders in between recording the first three songs. Killed the bugs the spiders would have eaten in between recording songs four though nine.

Rain storm lead to water leaking in the basement so what was originally going to be an 11 track album was shortened to 9 tracks.

Tracklist
01 - I Need the Bottle
02 - Girls With Tattoos
03 - Your Feelings
04 - Dead Celebrity Fairy Godparents
05 - Come Back
06 - On My Mind
07 - Existential Crisis
08 - X Marks The Spotify
09 - Complete Sentences

Daydreams, Go Away

The Factoid Club's sixth album was recorded in the week between Christmas and New Year's.

No re-recording or overdubbing was allowed after the week was over.

Read the review of the opening track - https://jakesommermusic.wordpress.com...

Called "the “Marlboro Man” equivalent of the raw, lo-fi alternative sound".

"These guys lean into an aesthetic reminiscent of Guided By Voices or early Silver Jews. It is music that sounds like it was recorded without pretense."

"Their songwriting tackles the mundane, the awkward, and the overlooked parts of life—the “couch cushion change” of the human experience."

"They are the kings of short, observational 'chat rock.'”

"They prove that you don’t need a massive orchestra to tell a massive story; sometimes just a few chords and a clever observation are enough to fill the space."

Tracklist:
01 - What Do I Know
02 - Sleight of Hand
03 - Ignore It
04 - Nothing To Say

The Plot Of Your Life

Your life is a story. Are you ready for the next chapter?

Meet William Further, a man who has spent his existence being proudly historically insignificant. Having coasted through life making the kind of mundane choices that never seem to leave a mark, William suddenly finds himself at a metaphysical crossroads.

After a sudden end to his quiet life, he is met in a stuffy office by a humble Clerk who offers him a rare opportunity: the chance to return to his past and relive his story from a moment of his own choosing.

But how does making a different choice a second time around affect those around him?

Can one small change lead to new adventures, new lovers, and new friends, or will it lead him further and further away from when he was the happiest?

As William navigates a new reality, he encounters Casey Harlow, a woman whose path is inexplicably tied to the choices he is about to make. In a world where every life is a rough draft, William is a man falling through the holes of his own plot.

He has never been the author of his own life, but as metaphysical ripples begin to reshape his world, he must decide if his story is ready to end or if it needs one more draft.

From author R.W. Alan, The Plot Of Your Life is a poignant exploration of the overlooked moments that define a human existence.

Caught between a past written in ink and a future being sketched in pencil, William faces the ultimate question: is he finally ready to choose?
