Chemicals are good

Every song a photograph

Wild hurricanes fly

False start

This is a Built to Spill song, recorded by Todd on Liz's 4 track in 2019, and mixed in May 2020. The kids are singing (faintly) in the background.

Wherever you go

This is a My Bloody Valentine song, recorded by Todd via Liz's interface at home in May 2020, the day after the end of the Trucks Leaving Virtual World Tour.

When you sleep

This song started life as a guitar loop Liz used to play. Todd borrowed the last line of the book By Grand Central Station I Sat Down and Wept to sing over it, and the last live incarnation of Trucks Leaving played it a few times at shows.

Years later, it became this.

Liz Dimo: low synth, e-bow guitar, big drum machine, vocal
