Homebound Kid – Not So World Famous album
It’s finally here! The first Homebound Kid album by departure and butterfly boy on Lemon Hed Records called ‘Not So World Famous’ – and it’s great.

Some spooky stuff at the end (and quite sample-able in places). (via Ben Soundhog) This lead me on a little journey, I…
