Grandmaster Impulse

Cyclobenzaprin Summer

My best attempt at sounding like Slowdive/MBV with a littley danceyness :)

Arcadia

This song was meant as a parody of songs like "Camera Phone" and "Portable Radio", songs that celebrate new technology and become outdated quickly.  Also it's meant as an earnest tribute to Gary Numan's "Cars" and Kraftwerk's "Autobahn".  

Written from the perspective of a 1980s coke dealer who is super stoked on his new car phone...

Car Phone (Guess Where I'm Calling From?)

I wrote and recorded this a few weeks before my nephew was born.  As it took shape, it reminded me of the sound of a baby or toddler exploring the world for the first time.  Hence the name Baby Wiggles, which was my nephew's nickname while he was still in the womb.  

It also doubled as a rebirth anthem for me as I was in the process of moving back to Los Angeles for the first time in many years.  

I'm still pretty damn proud of this one, it's a cute swingin little instrumental.
