Discography

Studio albums

Year	Title	Notes
2000	Bottle of Humans Released: 2000 Format: CD Label: Anticon	Debut solo album.
2001	uck rt Released: 2001 Format: CDr Label: Self-released	CDr of demos sold on tour in 2001. Includes early versions of several tracks that would later appear on Selling Live Water. The title is a play on the phrase "Fuck Art" and is alternately rendered "uck rt", "_uck _rt" or "uckrt" in various listing on the internet.
2003	Selling Live Water Released: 2003 Format: CD, vinyl Label: Anticon
2003	Mansbestfriend Pt. 2: No Thanks Released: 2003 Format: CD Label: Self-released (2004 re-release on Morr Music)	Entirely self-produced. Inititially self-released, the album was repackaged and remastered with additional tracks in 2004 and released by Morr Music under the title The New Human Is Illegal, with Sole using "Man'sbestfriend" (with an apostrophe) as an alternate moniker rather than as a title for the first time, as he would again (without an apostrophe) for his 2007 instrumental project Poly.Sci.187.
2005	Songs That Went Tin Released: February 21, 2005 Format: CD Label: Self-released	A collection of rare or previously unreleased tracks recorded for Bottle of Humans, Selling Live Water, Live from Rome and the Mansbestfriend series.
	Live from Rome Released: February 22, 2005 Format: CD, vinyl Label: Anticon
	Mansbestfriend Pt. 3: My Own Worst Enemy Released: June 6, 2005 Format: CD Label: Self-released	Entirely self-produced.
2007	Poly.Sci.187 Released: 2007 Format: CD Label: Anticon	Instrumental project. Entirely self-produced. Sole adopted the "Mansbestfriend" moniker for this album (as he had first done for the Volume 2 re-release), intending upon releasing instrumental work under that name. However, "Mansbestfriend" has since reverted to the title of a series of self-produced albums (as it began) with the release of fifth and sixth entries in the series in 2011. Poly.Sci.187 thereby retroactively became Mansbestfriend 4.
