I Should have listened to myself - EPK

“I Should Have Listened To Myself” is a fresh take on what Hyper Pop can be. With just enough hint of punk influence, jfarr takes the boundaries beyond what you’d expect in this unique cross blend of genres. RELEASE DATE: 03/24/2023

“I Should Have Listened To Myself” was born from a voice memo that took place on May 27, 2022 recorded at a remote studio somewhere in Malibu, CA. After a long day in the studio, jfarr speaks about his experience getting too high from a gravity bong his friend made. Knowing what his experience was going to be, he battles with his conscious through his journey from sober to out of body experience.

Reaching for a new and crossbred take on music jfarr grew up with, “I Should Have Listened To Myself” mixes chaos and serenity all into one song that takes you through the phases of the situation at hand. “I Should Have Listened To Myself” is a step in an unexpected direction that is consistent with jfarr’s catalog.

From jfarr:

When I was 12 and first dabbling in music production, I never imagined it would lead me to having a story like this one… I worked for a famous producer for my first few years in LA, and the hours were long and stressful most of the time. (That’s just the nature of the music industry). But luckily, I got to work with my best friends. That meant sometimes hitting a bong after a long, long day. My friend found and cleaned out a trash can and he made a gravity bong. I knew I was going to get way too high to be comfortable, but me being myself, I figured that something cool would come of it. After coughing up a lung, I found myself drifting into this extreme body high that left me feeling like I was having an out of body experience. This song really just captures the phases of it, and the energy of it. It wasn’t a bad high, it wasn’t scary, or sad, or whatever. It was just simply too much, and this is the story of that.

I remember writing this song, feeling like it was completely out of pocket for me. But I just had a conversation with someone recently, which sparked a thought in my mind. Part of me creating this project was to understand myself, and who I am as an artist. I find myself having trouble fitting into moulds of who an “artist” should be. This song was a challenge, to create something so wildly left field for my own artist project and make it sound like it’s from jfarr.
