Dear Bongo, centres around a painter coming out of a relationship. In his distress he turns to drinking and painting obsessively to distract himself and regain some amount of control in his life. He gets bored of canvas and starts painting rooms, other peoples' paintings, buildings and highway lines until he decides that nature's colours in his yard are imperfect and need changed. The story ends when the painter finishes the final piece of grass and looks up to see the rest of the world. He realizes he needs to let the colours be or spend the rest of his life painting, knowing his goal is impossible to reach.1. Bird Chirp ft. The Hypochondriacs2. Way Down3. #2244. Nuns5. Costanza6.
