Admittedly Incomplete Demos is an album released exclusively through Tally Hall's Bandcamp Page [1] It was released December 15, 2015. Its title is a tongue-in-cheek reference to Tally Hall's compilation of demos entitled Complete Demos.

History

Despite it releasing on December 15th of 2015, Admittedly Incomplete Demos wasn't advertised by any official Tally Hall accounts. Andrew tweeted about listening to Admittedly Incomplete Demos five days after its release and said "it feels like selections from a private journal have been put in the world. i did/didn't want it out there."[2] However, Tally Hall fansite Hidden In The Sand reported on it the day of its release, speculating that the release of these demos and rarities may be an act of solemn resignation, with theories regarding the inclusion of The Minstrel Boy as its a song frequently played at funerals and was composed in remembrance of the composers friends.[3]

Despite these theories, Ross Federman has stated that as of 2018: "Tally Hall still exists. Touring isn't possible at this very moment. That's about the only update"[4]

The album used to be available at a "pay-what-you-want" price[3] and used to only show 10 tracks available for streaming, while downloading/purchasing the album revealed 19 more hidden tracks. Since February 9th, 2018,[5] the album page has been updated to show the full track listing, and is now available for purchase as $9.99 or more.

Later in 2018, the official Tally Hall Facebook account referred to it in a post with the hashtag "#tbt", a common abbreviation for "Throwback Thursday", in which people post about their past.[6]

Twitter user and Tally Hall fan-blog "Tally Hall Of Shame" reviewed the album as: "A welcome addition [...] a testament to [the band's] creative process filled to bursting with the same unique humor and raw melodic ability that captured the hearts of anyone who's ever listened to their official albums"[7]

On April 16th, 2022, after Joe Hawley uploaded "Joe Hawley Advertisement 5" to his Youtube channel, 2 songs were added to the album: Hymn for a Scarecrow (Demo) and Welcome to Tally Hall (Reprise) (Demo).[8]
