Where I Go

Cliff is a journey to what feels like could be the edge, touching on notions of romance, inner turmoil, one's faith in the world, and perhaps even confronting society as a whole, leading up to the protagonist ultimately facing himself.  Written and composed primarily between 2015 and 2017, the album was inspired by the times around a DIY tour across the United States that left the duo in strange waters.  Although they returned with plans to create an album with producer Brian Deck (Counting Crows, Modest Mouse), they had not foreseen the imminent financial difficulties, health problems and loss of family that would ensue.  Recorded primarily in Deck's home outside of Chicago, Cliff was co-produced by Lorts and Deck intermittently through 2020 between Michigan and Chicago and just in time to be seemingly more relevant than ever.  It includes additional instrumental contributions by Deck, Macie Stewart (Ohmme), Ben Massarella (Califone) and Jon Lorts (Hippie Jon).
