'''''Suburban Advantage''''' is a demo EP recorded by [[Patrick Wilson]] in spring [[1994]]. It was Wilson's first formal attempt at recording his solo work. | |||
Wilson's first recorded solo material came in fall [[1993]] with ''[[My Spine]]''. He then wrote a fresh batch of music that he developed on a four-track recorder over the following months. Music from this period, as well as some borrowed from the earlier demo, was compiled into a 7-song demo tape titled ''Suburban Advantage'' in late spring [[1994]]. Wilson used a Dr. Rhythm drum machine (on the TR-808 kit) to create the record's percussion tracks, aiming for a sound unique from his previous demos. Roughly 8-10 copies of the tape were made and distributed among friends and [[Geffen]] industry contacts. Copies began circulating among fans as early as January [[1996]]. | Wilson's first recorded solo material came in fall [[1993]] with ''[[My Spine]]''.

Wilson did not return to much of the music on ''Suburban Advantage''. The demo tape preceded Wilson's [[1995]] [[Huge Guy]] demos, which evolved more directly into [[The Special Goodness]]. | Wilson did not return to much of the music on ''Suburban Advantage''.
