This track is off my upcoming album "Love Letters to Burn" which as of 3/23/26 is not yet finished. This is the first version of this song fully mixed and mastered but labeled as such because i may add or change things on the official release.
Tito Strange's true debut album features 13 different flavors of alternative indie rock and bedroom pop, features galore, and an exploration in blending genres through a distinctly funky nostalgic lens. Tito explores realms of moving on from mixed signals through the metaphor of the words said after that telephone call the other person never seems to answer.
" 'After the Beep.' is my first jump into writing music I imagined myself trying to make for years, something that makes me want to move, and isn't just one genre. I also think old telephones are just something I kind of miss in a way. Leaving voicemails had more weight I think back then..." - tito strange
This is a website and bandcamp exclusive that you cannot buy anywhere but these two locations. Enjoy what was more or less left on the cutting floor before I created the full "After the Beep." album. Some tracks were something I felt just didn't fit the emotional messaging of the rest of the album. Others did fit the vibe but just never came into focus in the production or lyrical wise. Finally a few tracks stood out but just felt like they needed a different life on this LP instead. This short adventure into the deleted messages from After the Beep is completely free for listeners who wanted more after hearing the album if you provide your email for updates on my music.
This EP will always hold a special place in my heart. This concept EP spawned a multi-national award winning short film inspired by the cult of personality in modern society. These short songs are a journey through my struggle with depression after leaving a band I had been a centerpiece of for years. That struggle with renewal and lack of identity gave birth to my first attempt at a new sound on my own as a guitarist and songwriter with my new moniker. Please enjoy the EP that started it all and remember the best way to escape a cult is be yourself.
This mixtape is a collage of instrumentals using modern pop culture and bizarre radio transmissions and tv shows for samples. It's experimental hip hop at times and indie rock or 80s pop at other times. This project can only be found here on soundcloud or band camp so enjoy.
