My first album.  I moved to Chicago to study with the performance group Goat Island.  These songs were written during their Summer School.  They were meant to be performed to/for different objects i would buy on my way to class each day.  Classmate Spencer Matern liked the songs and put them out with Emily Evans on Naivete Records.  Please note the amazing cello solo on the first track One, Two, Three by Dominic Johnson.  Dominic played and arranged all the strings on the handful of songs we rerecorded at ESS (Experimental Sound Studio).  Visual Artist Juan Chavez plays bongos on Made in Mexico.

These songs were made-to-order for a kickstarter campaign in 2013.  People could pay $50 and I would write them a song about whatever they wanted.  They gave me some combination of theme, topic, genre, and lyrics.  Usually they were made for a particular person; a spouse, friend, pet etc.  Gillian Lisee sings on Ruby.  It's a weird bunch of songs, and as usual, there's at least one little line or groove in each that I like.
