EP Release!!

Today my EP A Little Less Rough is available for FREE DOWNLOAD at http://andrewrohlk.bandcamp.com/

Big thanks to Becca Rohlk (who's 17 today! Happy Birthday sis!) for helping to create the cover art. It may look like some simple finger painting, but it's actually an elaborate process involving shaving cream. She's tried explaining it to me, but I still don't quite get how she pulled it off. It looks fantastic though!

Thanks also to Matthew Huckfeldt for all his support throughout the recording process. He did much more than pushing all the buttons in ProTools as we worked in his bedroom studio.

Thank you to Amy Pontiff, Elizabeth Kiefer, Olivia Small, Dale Price, and Katina Stevenson for letting me goad them into singing the La Da Da's on "What This Will Be"

Thanks also go to Jess Lonett for dealing with all my crazies throughout recording.

And thank you to the folks at Madistrophic and anyone else who has helped in some way that I might have missed. I might be a solo artist for the time being, but that doesn't mean I'm alone and without help.



This EP is titled as such for two reasons. One, the recording quality is better than the demos I did in my apartment bathroom with Garageband and a crappy USB mic. So things sound a bit better this time around. Two, while quality certainly is up, I don't think this EP is perfect. If I had done everything how the perfectionist in me wanted, it would have taken forever and would have sterilized the music into blandness.

I think I got exactly what I envisioned with this project. I knew I wouldn't be making this immaculate recording, but I hoped that it would be a step up from before. And as much as I care about these 4 songs, I wanna get opinions about them good or bad. I'd love to know where (and possibly how) to improve! So go get the EP (it's FREE), and let me know what you think!

Please and thank you,

-Andrew
