Songs recorded throughout the end of 2020 thru early '22. Except "Bouncer" a hot shit demo I had from 3 years ago that i rapped off some lyrics in a few takes. Some vocals are first take jakes, though i retread a few. You got your usual experiments and there is a soul-curtis mayfield/marvin gaye joint that is fun. Most were instrumental and in the can for a while, did a few vocal days recently and tried to edit awkward bits in a patchwork of takes as time went on. Put on my songwriter hat on and gave it a few listens and retakes. Second half I left as instrumental including the last song which I called the Elastic Slide, partly as an homage to my band The Elastic Memory Band or EMB. Pretty jazzed about these songs, some have a cliche feel lyrically but im ok with that, always enjoy the process of making music. I usually record something and give it a name, the first thing that pops in my head, something as dumb as bouncer or sympathetic grass or into the spirit, later when i ponder lyrics i use that as a starting point. Choose your own adventure!
