Comorbidity

Comorbidity is the first full length album by experimental artist Randie Strouse. After abandoning the Aspartame identity and moving to Owosso, Strouse wrote, recorded, mixed, and mastered this album himself. The album details a loose concept of Strouse's experience living in "The Palace".

Background
Strouse moved from Ovid with Dylan Salisbury to Owosso after meeting Great Lakes Feather Company's Miles Winchester. The three ended up living together at "The Palace", a loft known for its strange size and presence in the community. Many events and occurrences happened throughout the duration of his time there that inspired him to inadvertently create a loose concept record. Comorbidity becomes more emotionally distant as it goes on and tackles a multitude of genres including jazz, lo-fi, experimental, electronic, and more.

Release and promotion
Comorbidity was released on July 23, 2015 - Strouse decided not to tell anyone and waited for someone to stumble upon it on his bandcamp. On August 9, 2015 Strouse released his first and only single to his Youtube channel. Strouse also promoted his music in live settings for three different occasions: Summer At The Palace 2015, Jaefest 2015, and Odin Release Show
