In April of 2020 pandemic had fully hit & some kind of overwhelming nostalgia already started to sink in after the initial end-of-world shock. It reminded me of a time in prison when I only wanted to listen to Grunge because it helped me remember being 13 & beautifully reckless. On a drive through the east Los Angeles neighborhoods where I had been staying, I wandered upon some rough mixes of Deadpan Darling & ended up listening to the entire album. Later that day I remember texting Ian from Blue Sky Black Death & saying that it was some kind of sin that we never put this album out. He agreed & decided that he would try to piece together anything he could find on old hard drives in order to resurrect the project. Ian was able to recover, remix and, in some few cases, remake parts of the Deadpan Darling he started composing with Kingston when he was around 19 years old. Certain songs were impossible to salvage so we ended up using original rough mixes. Overall we decided to maintain the integrity of the original recordings & present them to the public as touched up artifacts. Deadpan Darling was written by a 23 - 24 year old version of me, one who had experienced the profound pain of actual heartbreak for the first time. Heartbreak can happen throughout life - but there is no heartbreak quite like the first time. Is it odd that I am nostalgic for heartbreak ? It’s not that I miss the feeling, it’s that I miss feeling so much. We grow older & more accustomed to certain types of pain. Deadpan Darling represents naivety & romance that I will never experience again. Because of that, there are a few moments that make me cringe, but there are also moments that make me feel deeply & allow me to remember the excitement of young love & pain through songs. Not sure what others will take from it - but just hope you all appreciate the final product. 16 years later.

Proud to be an alumni of this series. Support #fakefour #FastRepost from @Fake Four by @fastrepost_app ••• Five Years of Freecember: https://fakefour.bandcamp.com/album/five-years-of-freecember In the music industry December is traditionally known as a month when labels aren’t supposed to release music - due to holidays, school closing, end of year lists and overall lack of publicity or attention. In proper Fake Four fashion - 5 years ago my brother, David Ramos, decided to actually release 4 pieces of music every December. For free. It started with bands such as “Yes, Yes, Hobbyhorse” out of Canada who David became a fan of. He realized that it wouldn’t make much sense to release a completely unknown experimental indie pop band through Fake Four’s “traditional” outlets - so Freecember was born. Our close friends Tommy V & Penny joined in the mix shortly after, and the reaction to these first releases was absurdly good. “Mockingbird” remains one of the most downloaded albums on Fake Four’s bandcamp out of ANYTHING we’ve ever released. We poured most donations back into Facebook sponsored posts & that has brought about attention for artists who have previously been unknown or snoozed on. Through Freecember, artists whose albums would normally be downloaded 20-50 times total were getting downloaded hundreds and sometimes thousands of times. This remains true to this day….so we kept this tradition up. While putting together this compilation - I realize we’ve curated a pretty f-ing amazing collection of underground music. Here is a collection of some of the best moments from the last FIVE years of Freecember. I’ve organized the songs in an order that flowed well for me….this is not chronologically done. Hope this reminds you of music you’ve slept on & brings about new quests for great under-known music. Yes. You remain cooler than your friends because you listen to underground music. This is a logical truth. Thanks everyone. Love, Ceschi (at Brentwood, Maryland)
