about

a short, yet, concise glimpse into my mind as a solo artist. created from new compositions and old demos, this EP was meant to capture a continued spark of creativity I had after the release of Pareidolia with Hazard and Bliss. conceptualized in July and set into motion in late August, this small batch of songs is meant to give a sonic display of where my mind wanders to when im in a beautiful stretch of thought or loneliness.

as for the title Manipulator - more than likely everyone has experienced being the victim of a friendship or relationship that was/is very crooked or toxic. this negativity and hypocrisy more often than not comes from people whom you would least expect it. it hurts me to see others and sometimes myself (helplessly) fall into relationships or friendships that in the long run, are not beneficial to true growth. thus the natural enemy to this growth would be the Manipulator.

also, big thank you to the one and only Nik Sudan for his assistance on the cover of Radiohead's Videotape. this song is especially important to me and working with him was a bucket list collaboration. I hope we can again Nik

keep your eyes peeled for more content to come very soon. thank you for any and all support.

with heart,
jonathan gillis
