at our first rehearsal back from the 2020 winter tour, the trio of matt, sean, and i hastily recorded a run through of the west coast tour set. later on, henry recorded the guitar and vocal parts he had been playing during a handful of austin shows in february as a quartet. i asked christian, the co-writer of the melody and lyrics of this song, to send me a recording of dubbing the background vocals.
so... that's what this recording is: the 2020 live arrangement of the song, almost entirely recorded live, to hold everyone over until 2021 or whoever it is we can play live again.
recorded live at sean's house in february 2020 with overdubs at the speedway house from april - july of the same year.

Cohesive, eclectic collection of songs ranging from angular, melodic, riff-driven rock that would have slid effortlessly into the alternative genre in the 90s or what went for "indie rock" from 2006-13, to dream-pop & hints of shoegaze. Memorable songs, adventurous, economic compositions and performances, wrapped in luscious recordings w tight, well executed mixes that pack punch while letting the space between instruments breathe. Nice pressing of the vinyl and lovingly packaged to boot. joshiden
