But you can listen to it while you read comics!\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy Will Wood \u0026amp; The Tapeworms. Published by Hostile City\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVinyl LP Record, 2015 (2025)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEverything is a Lot” began its long production in 2014, when the singer-songwriter was still 20 years old and performing drunken alt-comedy at open mics. With no funding, Wood led a slapdash band into the studio to bring songs mainly from his teenage years to life, and the unstructured production process and youthful experimentation gave it a uniquely loose and chaotic feel. The debut LP’s sound is defined by Wood’s Jay Hawkins-esque vocal delivery, an out-of-tune old upright piano, wailing wind instruments, jangly guitar, high-powered yet loose drums, and sardonic overdriven kazoo solos. Delivering everything from swing jazz and twee indie pop to pseudo-mariachi and waltz, these sounds and their accompanying bizarre lyrics come together to match the existential title, “Everything is a Lot.” Will Wood’s early career can be primarily defined by his experimental vocal delivery, honky-tonk piano smashing, and darkly edgy songwriting. While his stylings have matured and taken on a more precise approach, his refusal to conform to expectations and constant shifts in the genre have continued to be hallmarks of his songwriting and production. In his “Will Wood and the Tapeworms” releases (Everything Is A Lot in 2015, SELF-iSH in 2016), audiences can see the first glimpses into what would eventually become his signature style, presented in a uniquely raw and chaotic state of potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrack Listing\u003cbr\u003e6up 5oh Cop-Out (Pro\/Con)\u003cbr\u003eSkeleton Appreciation Day in Vestal, NY (Bones)\u003cbr\u003eFront Street\u003cbr\u003e¡Aikido!
