This album has been stewing, fermenting, and gradually mutating over the past year of development... and it's finally emerged as a diverse, upbeat, unpredictable and exciting mix of chiptunes, electric guitars, and assorted guest appearances from the likes of Shawn Phase, Norrin Radd, and MC Fen. May you be rawked!

Figured I'd share this here. :) This is a silly little teaser clip for my new chiptune album "Test Subject," probably going to see release in the next week or two.

I dig LaFontaine-style voiceovers, chiptunes, 8BC, and this. I might have to quit my job and listen to that fulltime when it gets out.

Hehe, I wouldn't really call it that. The comment in the teaser was just referring to the majority of Norrin Radd's work, seeing as he appears on one track. :)

(There are some metally parts though!)

Wow-- the opening track "Bait Thief" was apparently played on The Nerdy Show recently accompanied by some very, very kind words of praise from the hosts!

Listen to a crop of the segment here! (http://www.josiahtobin.com/bit_rat/random/bit_rat_nerdyshow.mp3)
