COMMENTARY:

Most of this was written and recorded around 2004-2005.  A lot of personal things came out in the songs.  It’s heartfelt and funny in certain moments.  The album to me is interesting both in terms of approach and content. The recording was very spare and intimate, most times just me and a guitar. This freed up any major expectations I had sound-wise and just let me present the songs in a bare bones fashion. It was the easiest recording I’ve made thus far. But there’s a lot there. I hope people listen and get something out of it.
