JUST A PHASE

this is a collection other people’s songs
I changed some of the words - some I didn't really know how they go
this is the most naked and personal I’ve felt on a record so far - despite the fact that these songs are not my own
(sometimes it’s easier to be yourself in someone else's skin)

Reimagined, performed, and recorded by Mike Sim
Mixed and Mastered by Brady Custis

Many thanks to Brady Custis - this record would not be what it is if it wasn't for his work shaping the way it sounds in mixing and mastering. Being able to collaborate with him on it was truly wonderful and I hope to work with him again on future records. If you haven't checked out his band Coaches - do so - they've got an EP called "Shush" that's super dope and will be coming out with a full length soon.

Also - thanks to my brother Ryan for his eyes / direction in creating the album artwork for this.

And thanks y'all for listening

Much love,
