 *posted with mod permission* Hey fellas, I make music under the moniker "Giraffage" and I very recently released a new album. I think I'm at a pretty good point in my music career, having recently toured all over Europe with XXYYXX and recently getting signed to Alpha Pup Records. It's definitely been a crazy year, and I don't post on Something Awful a whole lot but these forums have definitely contributed to my success. I've learned so so so much about production via the Musician's Lounge and goons were among the very first people to support my first project (Robot Science), which boosted my musical confidence immensely. Anyways, I'd definitely love to share my new album with all of y'all. It's completely free. As for what my music sounds like, I like to describe it as sample-based, experimental electronic music. A lot of people have described it as "baby-making music". It's definitely a very sensual/sexually themed album. With all that said, it's probably easier if you just preview a song: http://soundcloud.com/giraffage/close-2-me BANDCAMP/STREAM LINK: http://giraffage.bandcamp.com Just enter 0.00 as the price for a free download. DIRECT LINK: https://www.box.com/s/ntc5xpopxpyvs2b1m9t4 Feel free to share this link around, no bandwidth cap  If you like what you hear and want to keep up with my current shenanigans: Like my page on facebook: http://www.facebook.com/giraffage or follow me on twitter: http://www.twitter.com/giraffage Feedback is always welcome of course. Ask me anything. If you do indeed enjoy it, it would mean a lot to me if you shared it around

Downloaded this one on release day and I've listened to all of your stuff as Robot Science and Giraffage, and got my friends to do the same. This guy makes awesome music and you should all listen to it RIGHT NOW.

Sweet, I didn't know that one of the best albums from the last Groupees bundle was made by a goon!

Oh poo poo that's you? I bought your Comfort album on Bandcamp a couple of weeks back and it is loving great...

I am only about 10 seconds in to the first track and already know I'm going to love this. Great work and thanks!

Caught you in the main room of 1015 about 6? months ago. Badman!! I'm very happy to see your success unfolding!

Oh wow! Big fan of your music. I saw you with Slow Magic and Teen Daze at The Virgil in Los Angeles last summer. Weird question, but did you happen to be in the crowd at Low End Theory this week? I thought I saw you there.

Picked up one of your songs on the Kitsune America comp a while back. Thought it was the best track on that album, so I'll definitely be grabbing this.

I loved the hell out of Robot Science, and I'm glad to see your work improve even further!

I saw you play with Com Truise at the Echoplex on tuesday, good show

Saw you at 1015 with mount Kimbie I think? Your stuff is rad, I'm always surprised when musicians I like reveal themselves as goons.

I grab your stuff whenever I can, and it's never been a let down. This one didn't break the chain, so keep the good stuff coming. XXY is great too! Cheers on your success!

Your music is unbelievably good - "Home" is by far my favourite track of the year, and one of the catchiest things I've ever heard. Can't wait for some kind of UK tour, since I missed the one time you played with XXYYXX.

Oh man! I've been listening to your music for a while. Really really really great stuff!

This stuff rules. How did you get to this point in your career/do you have any tips for an aspiring (semi)electronic artist?

Since you posted the thread for your last album about a year ago, I've ended up buying all of your Robot Science stuff. It's cool that things seem to be working out for you.

I would go so far as to call this trap music minus the cliches

I've listened the crap out of Comfort since I found out about you. Really excited about this album -- it's already sounding great. Thank you for sharing! Your music is distinct and catchy. I'm telling all my friends

Sweet! I love Robot Science and I wasn't sure I liked Comfort right away, but upon another listen I think it's even better than Square. I still love Doodads the best though. Can't wait to get this one!

Thanks everyone :3Chop Chop Master Onion posted:Oh wow! Big fan of your music. I saw you with Slow Magic and Teen Daze at The Virgil in Los Angeles last summer. Thanks! Well, I played Low End Theory LA last week. Other than that, I've been touring the west coast with XXYYXX so it probably wasn't me Katina posted:This stuff rules.

Reminds me of a slightly more upbeat James Blake. That is to say, I loving love it. Once I have the money too, I'm going to have to pick this up. Incredible. EDIT: Oh man, offered for free? Still going to sling you some cash when I can.

Love your albums and always have them on in the car or while at work so it's great to see another one I can add to the rotation!

Is the name and description a nod to Lovage by any chance? Either way, downloading.

Mad respect, this is an amazing album, I'm showing this to all my friends. You should play Berlin in the near future instead of Heidelberg, the Heidelbergians are known for their hatred of good music and love of castles.

I didn't even like electronic music, but I grabbed this from the direct download link just to see what the fuss was about. Applause, sir. Applause. Very easy to listen to and has some catchy melodies. I'm gonna check out some of your other stuff, you've enlightened me to an interesting genre.

I've been a fan of yours since Robot Science and, geez, you're kickin' some serious rear end nowadays. Congrats on getting signed to Alpha Pup! I played Feels on my radio show about three weeks ago and I'm planning on playing more off of Needs this week. Keep up the great work dude!!
