about

Solace is the first album from San Francisco-based solo musician, Jean Baudin.

All tracks (except track 13) are single takes played on 9-, 11-, and 12-string basses with no overdubs.

A bonus track, Vanishing Gameboy Remix v2.1b is a chiptune-ish (not really) version of "Vanishing". This song has appeared on a couple of film soundtracks, though this is the first time it's officially available.

It's childhood. It's a beautiful soundtrack. It's nostalgia. It's still getting jumpscared by cave noises at 2AM, because you're still playing this damn game 10 years later. It's Minecraft! devin_s
