ekopsuƨqoʞɘ by !mindparade

ekopsuƨqoʞɘ is a made-up word addressing conundrums of a made-up world. It's an amphigory, a riddle, solved in the mind of the listener.

The songs and arrangements on “ekopsuƨqoʞɘ” are built around the acoustic guitar, a less utilized instrument in !mindparade’s output. I’ve wanted to make an “acoustic-ish” album since forever, something that touches on my roots; writing songs on a classical guitar, jamming with friends around bonfires at the lake, exploring humid southern Indiana forests amid psychedelic introspection.
