any time I've tried to make music with other people it always descends into jokes and irony. Piano house covers of Joy Division. It's hard to let go and bare yourself in front of people in a room who you consider pals, harder than making some music and putting in your socials knowing that most people won't bother to actually listen to it, and that's why I feel more comfortable/confident working alone and taking feedback from people I trust than actually working with them.
