Parenthetical Girls are currently "demo"-ing. This is step one in the album writing process, which basically consists of Zac sitting in a dark closet for a few hours a week trying to teach himself how to play instruments with the record button depressed. I'm hoping to piecemeal together something resembling a "rough draft" by summertime, after which I hope to convene as a "band" for another unnecessary set of "quotation marks." Wish me luck.

Stay tuned to the "performances" section for further updates.

How does that sound to you? Sounds great to me.

Yours Faithfully,

Zac Pennington.
