    Third Record

    Hi everyone. I’ve drafted a chart that shows how incredibly lazy I am. There is no Sin in Sin My Body: 2009 We Are Revealed: 2011 I had high hopes and an aspirational spirit. 2016 seemed possible. Quick answers that explain nothing: Will this release come with a book? No. Is it another concept record?…

  • Album. Traveling.

    Album. Traveling.

    Greetings from Barcelona. Here for a week. In our downtime, we’re chatting up the local skaters for Devil Street Decks and documenting graffiti (like we do). Here is what we know: We have been auditioning songs, recording and playing tiny shows. The first new songs will precede the album by a month or two. This…

  • Recording at Busted Barn

    This musical fellow, Pete Morse, is a bit of a miracle worker behind the mixing console. As the producer and engineer of the new recording project, he’s been wildly successful at keeping my primitively circular mind in check. What was supposed to be a two week project has stretched on, though happily so. The rough…

  • The Decision

    My germinating idea was that this record would be a sprawling, collective effort. Getting musicians in the right place at the right time isn’t always easy though. I’ve found myself playing all of the instruments again. The good news is that the producer has been helping out and contributing a bit of electric guitar. Leslie’s…

  • End of Week One. Recording.

    Pete likes to do things differently. I didn’t really know my songs until I had to pick them apart sonically. It was frustrating at first–especially when it came to timing–to be forced to listen for things that I had never stopped to notice. I started to hear things that weren’t there and make up progressions…

  • And Now You Know…

    I’m happy you’re here. Thank you. If you want to say hello or send us a tweet, I’ll explain everything. Here is the latest on the upcoming CD: Recording starts on Aug 12th at Busted Barn in Portland, Maine. It will feature 10 or 11 new songs. Cover art is by the wonderful French photographer,…

  • And Here We Go.

    It’s been a long time since I’ve had to turn to a studio for help. I like the late-night, guerrilla recording method for most of my stuff. Not this record though. There were too many people and too many instruments to consider. On top of this, the mastering guru Mark seems to have vanished inside…

  • New Record Details

    Record #2 in July? That’s my goal. Maybe August. I’m hunting for studio space at the moment. The details are draped in fog, but there will be ten tracks or so and guest appearances by people that we trust and love. Other than a few shows in September, I no useful live information yet. This…

  • New CD Plans

    Questions have been posed about the CD that we’re planning for later in 2010. This one is a bit different from the current disc. We’re going to do a number of guest appearances with some Portland artists. Some pianos, some percussion, some banjo. We’ll see what happens. The live format won’t change. We’re sticking with…

  • January 2010

    It’s the feeling that comes with a Delores Claiborne hobbling. The inability to escape. And it’s the ankle sprain that is causing this. I’m going to be setting a new recording space this month…slowly. In the meantime, there are other tracks to post. Newer ones. Older ones. Thanks to all of those radio stations out…
