Confusingly, John Henry Demos is basically a studio album in most of its tracks. It's like if John Henry was Apollo 18, but more on the John Henry end.

I do not have a lot to say about it, because it is ultimately John Henry again. Because of how well I know John Henry, listening to this messed me up. Here are my raw notes.

  • I like the more intense building on Subliminal
  • Snail Shell has a different guitar and the drums are more... punchy? sounds almost drum machine-y
  • country feeling on Unrelated Thing
  • synthier I Should Be Allowed To Think
  • O, Do Not Forsake Me is completely different
  • Dirt Bike - incomplete?
  • weird screeching electric guitar on Meet James Ensor. big fan
