bottle rocket – fake album tracklist

I wanted to make a fake album tracklist, so i did. here it is.

synthpop-y throwback-ish upbeat album with a few acoustic and noisy/pc influences. about bottling up emotions and discomfort until they have nowhere to go and everything comes out all at once, destroying every relationship in the process.

  1. intro – acct creation —– sounds like the tuning at the start of an orchestra/like the ps3 startup sound, but really acrylic and abrasive/digital sounds. ends with skipping and what sounds like a disc drive scratching the hell out of a dvd, before suddenly clicking off like a crt and theres a low hum for a few seconds before moving to the next song.
  2. psx boyfriend (crt sizzle) —– cute little love bop that samples the ps1 startup sound for basically everything, and is basically just yearnposting about guys plus the ps1. it is clear on further inspection that these are unhealthy idealizations.
  3. vrchat s*x —– smoothly transitions out of psx into a more downtempo rendition of its sound. has a more smooth, flow-y vocal delivery. talks about, well, vrchat sex, and wanting to get a vr headset and be in vr in general to escape from anxieties being social irl.
  4. interlude i —– fllwr cnt 32 – an improv comedy bit from a discord call. a confession happens at the very end.
  5. amlond milk – a track with no real singular point or sound. its made out of fan-submitted lyrics and production. the call for submissions asks for both really vulnerable stuff and dumb silly internet stuff.
  6. @everyone —– the most bubblegum bass/deconstructed club song on the album. tries to be as glossy and sugary as possible, no 1 angel style, almost sounds like a sibling to unlock it. its about using @everyone to troll, but also to try and desperately get someone you specifically want to notice you to do so, and the exasperation with realizing they probably turned @everyones off on their end. includes a line joking about how the songs title probably is going to cause issues in a discord somewhere.
  7. interlude ii —– fllwr cnt 318 a.k.a. two years, a short little verse about looking in the mirror and crying, then two years later feeling like you've found yourself, even if you have a ways to go. its somewhat about hrt. accompanied by the sounds of a voice chat talking about something dumb in the background.
  8. t4u —– disco sort of song thats sort of flirty to boys and its about genderfluidity and just wanting to be cute in the way that the other party is interested. a little bit of frustration with not havign stability bubbles under the lyrical surface.
  9. block list —– bratty “h8r” sorta song with a little bit of a pop punk and jazz influence thats bragging about blocking dumbasses, but also has a few moments where that facade breaks and the lyrics are about how toxic of a pattern blocking can come to
  10. interlude iii —– fllwr cnt 1024 – tons of overlapping voices in a crowd for around 30 seconds, ends with a flurry of discord notifs and screeching
  11. STOP STALKING ME AND MY GIRLFRIEND —– synthwave-inspired sound, really aggressive, starts off stabby and ends stabby. begging and pleading with someone to have them just leave them the fuck alone. hinted that the target is an ex. the most outright distraught song of them all so far.
  12. I NEED TO BE ALONE —– continues the previous sound with a much higher tempo and rapidfire and aggressive hooks, basically just gasping “i need to be alone” and “i have to leave twitter for a bit”. its voice clips, and its not melodious. its about 1 minute long.
  13. bottle rocket —– starts off as sort of a sizzling, revenge sort of song keeping the last two song's sound but like, its been muffled and restrained, with a clear message of anger and upset at everything in the album up to that point, but very rapidly descends into a glitchy, loud, obnoxious mess as the vocal delivery breaks down and becomes full of squealing and fry and screaming and the lyrics stop being connected until it all comes to a sudden halt
  14. interlude iv – fllwr cnt 0 —– just a crackly recording of an emotional breakdown, with sounds of discord messages/tweets/friend reqs occasionally popping in, etc.
  15. friends list —– an acoustic lofi song about losing all your friend group in a moment of vulnerability and lashing out and exhaustion, but then still happy there are a few people that stayed around unlike last time it happened
  16. outro —– just a 20 second wall of sound
