about

"This record was the product of a burst of writing and home recording that took place during a time of intense transition. I had met and was dating the woman who would become my wife; I was inching out of my restaurant job that had been my economic and social lifeline during my first years in Austin; I had not yet made much of a move to have my own music heard, which had been my intention when I moved from New York in 2000. I wondered about maybe going back to school. Bush was in the White House, the news was all bad, and I was reading far too much nonfiction. I was extremely happy in my personal life, but the real work of making music had kind of been put on the back burner for, y'know, work that pays. I was constantly teetering between intense happiness and existential oblivion. I was an analog 4-track veteran, but I recorded this on my first digital workstation, a Tascam 8-track. I thought it sounded great, but in retrospect, the 16-bit is a bit chintzy, but it has its charm. I have a lot of affection for several of these songs and still play some live."
