This song feels like pop rock to me -- with a little weirdness thrown in.  It definitely speaks to my pandemic experience.

Caught In A Loop

Random Ricochet was built around the initial heavy riff.  Lyrically, it echoes the anger and despondency of the times.

Random Rocochet

Random Ricochet

Down-tempo post-grunge alt-rock hyphen-ated mu-sic.  Inspired by all the young people fighting for their right to love who they want.

Hearts On Fire

Bass-and-drum driven hype rock with a paradoxical chill undercurrent.

Let It Go

The tempo of this song is built around the opening sound, which began emanating with despairing regularity from my Vox amp.  In fact, it was the only sound that I could get from that damn amp.  [Free advice: never buy a modelling amp.]  Luckily, my friend Travis loaned me his Fender "Twin," which is a sweet amp, and I used it for the chorus.  Another friend, Charles, helped me out with the vocals.  (See ChackaC!). He mastered the song too.

My Amp is Broke

This is one of the first songs I recorded with my hollow-bodied Gretsch Tennessee Rose. Not only does this guitar have a wonderful crunchy sound, but it also creates some really nice feedback.  Note: Charles Koory is helping me out with vocals again.

Don't You Waste My Time

This song started as a jazzy little vamp on a phased-out guitar.  Keyboard and guitar textures help it build.  Plus, the drums really propel it along.  No loops here!  The lyrics (as is often the case) function as a sort of rorschach test.

Walk Away

The lyrics were prompted by a certain political faction -- and their leader -- who believe that America's best days are in the past, rather than the future.  Musically, it's straight-up garage rock.

Die In The Past

"We Dance on Our Grave" started with the bass line, which I've been playing around with for years.  Over the last few months, I created guitar parts (acoustic and electric), a bass line, drum beat (of course), a keyboard underlay, and lyrics.  Lyrically, it's a take on our seemingly inevitable apocalypse -- with a particular focus on the environmental damage we're doing.   My friend Charles sings on the chorus.

We Dance On Our Grave

Everything All The Time

A fun summer rocker about getting old and losing your mind, which may or may not be related.

Finish My Sentence

This song builds as it goes, including additional guitar layers and leads as well as bass-and-drum breaks.  Wait for the lead at the end!
