about

This album happened after about 5 years of trying to record an album. It was inspired by the purchase of a tape machine, bought from Jesse of Mammal Hands. Thanks Jesse.

After a long time of getting frustrated and anxious trying to use computers to record my own music, I found that recording to tape was basically fun. And because there wasn't much editing capability, I didn't get dragged down worrying about mistakes. Keeping things raw was feeling really good.

A variety of songs, improvised and structured, began to appear almost automatically. And I didn't want to mess with them too much so left them as they were, with a basic mix and enough's enough. Allowing the past to be the past, mistakes to be mistakes, and love to be love. Happy New Year! X
