This is great, and the drums are often. You guys have such an original sound

reminds me of Magnetic Fields which i love

nice loving the chilled out vibe, great vocals, loving the lyrics "lets not talk about politics tonight."

Great track! Sounds like the National with synths, awesome!

nice beat, man..  And lyrics.. and overall awesome!  Good stuff!

You can be a Republican in the morning

The cat’s out of the bag… Our new 3 track E.P. is coming out on November 3rd! It’s also up and live on Bandcamp already because, well, I messed up.  Anyway, I’m thrilled to finally have released Five Four Girls. 

We started working on these songs at Rabid Ears Recording back in 2019 with the intention of releasing them as this E.P. From those recording sessions, only the drum tracking for the title track has made it to this release. Tricia and I recorded (or re-recorded) everything else at our own homegrown studio that we refer to as Mushroomtopia. The reason for that nickname is obvious if you’ve ever seen my moss-covered yard after a rainstorm.

"Five Four Girls" and "To Jenny" are songs written as a character.  They aren't me.  They aren't Tricia. But, it was fun to go to such unsavory places for some pretty creepy songs.

"Drone Bomb You" is an attempt to write something of a geo-political song.  And, boy, that is a difficult thing to write.  The song ended up a critique of another songwriter's attempt to write an urgent song about the state of politics. Kyle from Book of Wyrms guests on lead guitar on this song!

I thank Tricia for continuing to work with me and for enthusiastically jumping into the role of production partner. I thank Allen Bergendahl for his ongoing support, friendship, expertise and advice. I thank Kyle Lewis for many hours of shredding. I thank Laura Manchester for embracing my visual ideas and running with them to fantastic results. And thank you to Todd, Ben and Jake; “Five Four Girls” wouldn’t be what is without you.
