about

Recorded from late March to August in 2023 after the band finished their album Weeds…this album was recorded fast and without too much fussing or fixes. Some days we’d spend a couple hours..other times only an hour…sometimes we went a few days without any studio work… No autotune (obviously) and any mistakes were usually left in place. So you get to see the scars and all. And yes, if it sounds distorted or rough that was intentionally done…hey, with 45 songs, who wants them to all sound sonically similar.

The songs..well, some are a couple of decades old, while many were written in the past two years or during recording. Most deal with the hard side of life, but we did throw in a couple of brighter relationship songs...but just a couple

Again, we went for an early Stones crossed with David Cobb type of production…sometimes rough, sometimes low-fi, sometimes drenched in reverb….sometimes it worked. Other times not so much…And if you hear anything that sounds weird or distorted, that was done on purpose.

Yeah, we know, we don’t have the musical prestige to expect anyone to listen to all of these songs…so pick a couple and see what you get.
We hope you enjoy at least one of the songs LOL
