    Lemon Demon's 2016 album Spirit Phone was a project 8 years in the making; this video aims to try and recreate the experience one would have listening to an early cut of the album back in 2014, riddled with demos and early takes. While not entirely perfect, this is Spirit Phone: 2014.

      If you want to be technical, there's an early mix of Spirit Phone from 2014 that was shown to Neil's mom and (MAYBE) Alora Lanzilotta. I believe the Lifetime Achievement Award and No Eyed Girl demos are from that cut.

      When He Died is an amazing song but the fact that it fades away to nothingness at the end leaving seconds of silence ruins the experience of listening to it on repeat like I would Soft Fuzzy Man or Cabinet Man or Man-Made Object et al makes it a solid 9/10 instead of a 10/10. the quietness only works when Sweet Bod is what follows. But other than that it's amazing
