Galileo Grandiose
Of all the albums I've released this might be the most cherished. Originally written back in 2017. Exploring a plethora of psychedelic experiences, creating this album I was in rare form. Although I never felt like it was complete. It took years of me leaving on and off the back burner of my projects. Coming back to the album in different era's and focuses of the collective. I consistently found myself re-mixing, adding new elements, re-dubbing/recording parts. In 2021 & 2022 I finally was able to get the album in a place where I felt it was a completed work. With the help of Angel Marcloid's mastering skills the album now exists in a quality I never thought possible. This is it.
This is the latest masterpiece from the Forest Kids Collective

Undertakes Vol. 4
Undertakes is a series within the Forest Kids Collective as a 'mixtape' of 'cutting room floor' songs and ideas. A compilation of songs from various aliases within the collective that either didn't really fit a full release or was just some floater ideas that needed some 'finalizing'. Vol. 4 was honestly unplanned. January 2024 rolled around and I took a look at my projects and files after a productive 2023. Found 20 unreleased tracks that had enough potential for another Undertakes release so here we are!
