Gentleman's Lament (Patrick Star EP)

Gentleman's Lament is the second EP by Canadian singer-songwriter, Patrick Star. It was his first release on a label, as he was signed by SpongeBob after the release of his debut EP. The EP included early versions of songs that would be later be on the debut studio album A Number of My Lifes.

Writing
Star chose not to write any lyrics for this album, instead only writing the instrumentals and singing what was appropriate. The instrumentals were things Star had written back in 1992, but hadn't thought to use them until the recording of this EP.

Many of the instrumentals were concept ideas that Star developed throughout the recording of the album.

Recording
Star spent nearly a month recording the album because most of the takes didn't satisfy him. He often felt that the lyrics were either too poor or random and left them off of the EP. Star experimented with effects on his guitars during the making of the EP, making the album kind of inconsistent in sound.
