Most of these songs were recorded before 2008; all were recorded before An Instructive Amusement (2013). The audio quality is mixed, but the recordings aren't as lo-fi as, say, early Daniel Johnston and Mountain Goats tapes.
What people are saying:
"My personal favorite is from the sweet little pop outfit of Greg Adams' Cozy Catastrophes. Adams usually opts for a more lush sound, but 'Dying Breath' comes from a compilation of his early 4-track work, and, to my ears, the simplicity suits him." – A Short Walk/Musical Family Tree

I have several problems with a member of this band, so I'm disinclined to like this album. However, exceptional music speaks for itself, and this album really is exceptional, from the guitar work to the vocals to the production. As painful as it is for me to write these words, this is among the best releases of the year and firmly belongs in the collection of anyone who cares about contemporary indiepop. Michael Feck
Sweetly melancholy bedroom pop is rarely as actually vulnerable and personal as it is in this Australian artist's hands. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 21, 2018
