about

Recorded between March and May 2022, with additional dubs and mixing in the Fall of 2022.
Recorded at Sleeper Cave Records with a bunch of local collaborators, each one a snapshot of a day's creative work.
I think of this as sort of a mixtape from a fertile Spring, and a representation of my writing in 2021 and early 2022. By now, these songs are old for me, but I hope you enjoy them as new for you!
