Not Good Enough
Howdy, folks!
I present to you my latest “proof-of-concept” album Not Good Enough, featuring all kinds of instrumentation, with a focus on the guitar. It’s a weirdo psych rock excursion that examines my (unhealthy) relationship with musicks.
I have limited, professionally-manufactured CD-Rs available as well that turned out great!
The final track “Old Ideas (modified)” takes me into some new territory by its end, and points in the direction that my music will be taking from this point forward.
As always, I appreciate you listening to and supporting my musicks.
Not Good Enough releases Friday!
This Friday on my Bandcamp will see the release of Not Good Enough, a “proof-of-concept” album about my (unhealthy) relationship with musicks.
Clocking in at slightly over a half-hour, my latest recording features piles of guitar, analog synths, dobro, mandolin, acoustic percussion, oddball sequencing methods and vocals–all executed by yours truly.
I will also have limited edition, professionally manufactured CD-Rs of Not Good Enough available on Bandcamp, and I have to say that these turned out to be really nice! Grab a physical copy while you can! All CD purchases there will also get the digital download.
I hope you’ll all give it a listen Friday! I appreciate your support and ears!!!
New recording coming soon!
Hi, freaks!
After months of looking for a home for this album and not finding it, I will soon be presenting to you Not Good Enough, a “proof-of-concept” album about my (unhealthy) relationship with musicks. Keep an eye on my Bandcamp page and website for the release!
Loads of guitar, analog synths, dobro, mandolin, acoustic percussion, oddball sequencing methods and a fair amount of vocals all collide into these 6 tracks.
All musicks, vocals, recording, mastering and photography/layout executed by Jeff McLeod during 2023-2024.
Soon!
Two new recordings complete!
Mixing and mastering are complete for my latest solo recording, as well as Volume 7 of my Joyless Noise series. Artworks are in the works for both, and I hope to announce both releases soon as they make their way to my Bandcamp site and, eventually, streaming everywhere. In the meantime, I would encourage you to join my community and mailing list on Bandcamp, and check out my full archive of over 30 years of music at jeffmcleod.net.
Until then, some uneasy listening for ya…
Late-night jams…

Time Slime
You’re living the life bouncing between worlds,
the families, the wounds borne upon them dissolving their minds
You’re living the life stealing and slipping dimensions,
escaping to worlds of slime where you’re erased
Eater of slime, devourer of time
Dnomed
In nonstandard code
Lost nonstandard roads
In imagined particle arrays
In a foreign land
Feast on local glands
A special occasion for a foreign lad
Lonely days, lonely ways
Buy one thousand imaginary chits
Hope you’re wishing
For the worst of the best
You were always promised
This and this and shit
Lonely days, lonely ways

Complete Forthinking
A 2012 experimental electronic series using a minimal setup of an iOS MIDI control application, a Moog Voyager & an Ensoniq Fizmo. Best listened to while thinking & wearing headphones–or blasted through a capable system. Streaming everywhere now. Collected here on my Spotify artist profile for your thinking pleasure.
