[if i messed up please move this thread, it kinda seemed like this might be deemed an "official release" but i'm still unsigned and not making any money so i figure it would fit in here]

hello, hope you don't mind too much but I really wanna try and spread around my music. This is my first legit full-length but i have a lot of misc stuff on the bandcamp too

anyways, let me actually tell some things about myself and my music. I am a young aspiring musician from the Bay Area (located just a little south of San Francisco)
My music is an eclectic mix of many styles but predominantly rooted in things of the psychedelic and experimental nature, focusing on improvised jamming and many different colorful textures and atmospheres. I am a deep lover of the classic psychedelic and progressive music of the 60's and 70's and I try to capture some of the magic i hear within that music in my own creations, although I always try to stay aware of if I'm doing something new or just blatantly worshiping the bands of old.
All of the music was recorded by me in my bedroom, so I prefer to keep a more easy-going natural feel rather than making things mechanically precise and perfected. I don't think this album is something that will sound incredible to anyone else but me but I think it might be interesting to some and at the least it can show my potential for future music. All of the material was finished before my 18th birthday this past august. As you can see I am quite young so this is just the beginning, I am already working on two more full-lengths along all the other music projects I keep going regularly.

anyways that's about it. I hope I don't come off as trying to sell the album too much, i really don't want to seem like i'm just trying to promote for myself. I'm not concerned with making money from it and I'm not really even concerned with seeing my project on progarchives, I just really really want to find a way to share it with the people who enjoy similar music. I have gotten a handful of amazing responses from different people so i know there ARE people who can really enjoy it and feel it, just finding them is the tricky part. also if you dig it i really would love it if you checked out some of my other bandcamp releases. I don't think any of them are quite on par with the album but there's still some interesting things. They're also not quite the same style of music either, most of the other releases are kinda experimental electronic ambient things and if you go farther back there's more acoustic stuff, but no matter what you try I can guarantee there will be the distinct Sumdeus atmosphere.

I really like this release.

I really hope that this gets an inclusion on Progarchives. It is assured a review from me.

if it's alright for me to double post, I have a new album finished much less jammy and more electronic, a lot of spacey dreamy atmospheres, mostly synth adventures with some acoustic guitars here and there. it's actually some old material from about three years ago that i'm finally getting mixed & mastered. figured i'd post here on the off chance someone will see this and have a listen
