Shawn Hickox recorded this song a couple of years ago at our old place in SE Portland, and we finally got around to mixing it. Jordan Schroeder is on drums.

Kim's Night Out

This song's lyrics came to me without the usual strain. There's something about the the way the chords seem to "fall" that reminds me of that quote: "I started to die the moment I was born."

Find Us

7th Wave

A big thanks to Shawn Hickox for the excellent recording.

Shawn Hickox recorded this song a couple of weeks ago. I'm sitting by a crackling fire and adore the little pops and hisses that tickle the background. And, of course, Jake's upright bass is rich and haunting – a sexy monster under the bed.
