Reality & Escapism by Brandon Phillips

My 3rd album, which compiles selected tracks from projects recorded from May - Nov 2021, and released from Feb - Sep 2022 (Two Worlds, Trial & Error, Time Goes By, Strings & Keys Vol 2), and the last track is from Resentment.

At the time of making these, my dad had recently gotten kicked out earlier in May, and so I guess in a way I tried making music to either get those emotions across, to feel better, and to remind myself of other things - like my online friends, and just creating tunes that I was really happy with at the time. These selected tracks are the ones regulated with my life during this period and fit this album the most, being a mix of happiness, calmness, and sadness.
