The Half-Baked Serenade

"Let's go trick or treatin' dressed up like Marilyn Manson. Snatch up all the kiddies and then hold 'em all for ransom"-Line from KiDdies

The Half-Baked Serenade is the second major release from sElf. The album was originally imagined as an EP, but was expanded into a full album. It was only avaliable through a mail-order catalog, making it's release somewhat obscure. The album was once considered rare and fetched high prices online, however this is no longer the case and copies can generally be found for around $20. It is well liked among the sElf community and was reviewed positively upon it's release.

Production
Mahaffey recorded the album at his house as a result of fans requesting a new sElf release. The album strays away from Subliminal Plastic Motives in that it features a more electronic, funky sound and features fewer guitars, however still remaining rooted in Mahaffey's unique style.
