Hobbyhorse was the band I formed with Alex DiBlasi in January 2007 immediately after we both left the Heliocentrics. I wrote these songs over the course of my senior year of college, and during the 2007-08 winter break (after I'd graduated), Alex came to New Albany to record his parts on top of my demos. Unfortunately, overdubbing drums on top of existing demos worked about as terribly as you'd expect, so only one of Alex's drum tracks remains: "F,Z. House Party '98," which was recorded live in my basement. This song is not really meant to be a "song," and is more of a "skit" that mostly functions as a link to the next track. 

So anyway, basically, this album, like everything else I've ever recorded, does not really exist in its intended form. This record should've had live drums and would've actually been the work of a band, and I would've been able to get the guitar tone I actually wanted for the first song instead of the shit soup you actually hear on the song. Other than that though, this record does have some stuff I'm fairly proud of. "What's the Difference," "It's Not Over" and "Nothing" in particular are ones I think are pretty decent, but that's just me.
