01 / Satan’s Loan & songwriting
An earlier piece of writing, a later arrangement.
The official catalog connects Satan’s Loan to a poem dated September 3, 2012. It dates the later recording to September 7, 2026 and describes a cinematic halftime dubstep direction with a blues-electronic influence. The poem date identifies the source writing; the 2026 date identifies this cataloged recording.
That relationship between an older idea and a newer musical treatment recurs in Crowell’s work. His archive includes earlier vocal, keyboard and rap material, as well as contemporary digital production and AI-assisted arrangements. Revisiting a piece can produce a new version without erasing its source.
Under the earlier Sqaz name, Crowell made rap recordings that his archive dates to 2007. His later work as Call Me Daddy ranges across electronic music, dubstep and alternative R&B within the broader MusicSubject project.
Satan’s Loan provides one focused entry into that history: a song connected to a specific piece of earlier writing, credited within the same network of artist names as Only Real Things, The Musician Police and Make Me an Animal.
