Album Notes

Ryan Parmenter released his first album of MIDI/synth experiments, "Helvetica," (1995) when he was still in high school. He then honed his songwriting and performance skills while leading the band Eyestrings, whose 2 albums, "Burdened Hands" (2004) and "Consumption" (2005) were well received by many fans of melodic progressive rock. Ryan released a largely upbeat solo album, "The Noble Knave," (2006) and then shifted his creative focus to improvisational comedy. In early 2009 he began work on a collection of sad songs, and is proud to release the efficiently-produced vague-concept album.
