about

Stability is a pretty open-ended word, isn't it? It could apply to one's financial status. Or it could apply to the structural integrity of a bridge. Whatever. That's the beauty of such simplicity; it's kind in that it yields its moldable nature to anyone who desires to interact. To Max Bontrager, the single man behind Sitcom Morals, I think Stability means being able to live a deep, meaningful life while remaining light-hearted on a day-to-day basis. Even more so, I think it means working hard to make ends meet while also taking the time to sit down with a cup of coffee and a ukulele and write good songs.

Review:

"Max Bontrager is the one-man band behind Sitcom Morals. There is a desire for balance or stability in his work, or, in his words: “I think Stability means being able to live a deep, meaningful life while remaining light-hearted on a day-to-day basis.” The project name alone conjures up an image of a slightly sardonic person who has free reign for the next half hour to freeform all the place.

From the first note until the last, it is automatic writing exotica, early Meat Puppets or solo Syd Barrett, outsider weirdness that sounds as if it could have been recorded anytime in the last forty years. Bontrager utilizes a sparse setup consisting mostly of vocals and ukulele with some completely fuzzed out transistor strumming. The ukulele is everywhere these days in our mainstream daily lives, and having it do more than sell cars or orange juice is quite subversive. The song structures seem loose, if done again these compositions may sound completely different. The bizarre lo-fi tales of acts like Inca Eyeball are definitely echoed throughout this tape. If you have – or just enjoy – a warped world view, you will be at home with Sitcom Morals."

A very weird album that juggles with a lot of themes. Video games, old broadcasts... food, for some reason ? Although it successfully pulls all of these off. A moment for hygiene is funny draconium

Hard to pick a favorite track. Back2ThaSky for the dreamy feel plus interesting chord progression. Generally, the album vacillates between ambient, pop and folk, which are held together by a lo-fi, minimal style as a common theme. theblankholidays
