Winterpills Demos Vol. 5: Though Its Flowers Are The Fewest (2012)
Demos for All My Lovely Goners. Since we engineered that album at home, many of the final Winterpills versions were literally built on top of these demos. Had to do some scraping away to get at the demos underneath but there they were. Fortunately I saved versions of everything.
Note: Originally Goners was going to be a solo album, as I had fleshed out most of these songs pretty fully by myself. The once the band got hold of them they began to change and the story shifted. There were 3 songs that didn't make it onto the Winterpills albums; I am including those here.

Winterpills Demos, Vol. 3 (Treetops in Flames) (2008)
Demos that ended up on Winterpills third album, Central Chambers. Around this time, I suffered a huge hard drive meltdown and lost a lot of work. Scrounging for the demos from this era is a little tricky, as much was lost. Back up your work.
