about

I made it 2004/2005 before I started writing/recording Revenge Songs. I was obsessed with Talk Talk (Spirit of Eden, Laughing Stock), Stina Nordenstam (Little Star), The Flaming Lips, Grandaddy, Mum, The Carpenters and Mercury Rev.
A lot of the songs I wrote while I still lived in London. I recorded the album in Portland obsessing over the tiniest of details. Listen to this album in a good pair of headphones and you will hear layer upon layer of micro sounds.
A lot of songs started out on, guitar, and upright piano, craigslist musicians were hired- cello, violin , viola, upright bass, My friend Nick Jaina played some Rhodes Piano, Becky (June) sang and played piano and Gavin Bowes (Birthday played some drums). Then I spent months upon months, stretching and chopping up the sounds, programming an old Roland 606 drum machine etc.... Looking back, I get really emotional when I listen to it. I hope you love it!

"Ambient Music must be able to accommodate many levels of listening attention without enforcing one in particular; it must be as ignorable as it is interesting." -Brian Eno This album is all of ambient music in a nutshell. It's quiet yet it demands some level of attention. It is eerie and evokes subtle emotions and even some small physical reactions! This album will definitely be a staple in my digital collection.
