Jason Releases Video for "Shortcomings in Opposition"
Check out Jason's video from his "Fictional Mirrors" release. Jason said of the track, "I wanted the lead track to make a statement for where the rest of the music would be headed. Although, percussion is absent and thus making it harder to notice, the Warr guitar line switches between two odd time signatures. I liked this idea of incorporating the progressive side of my playing into an ambient setting. This song deals with how we perceive our mistakes and negative self and try to see the positive side."
