about

Recorded in the space of an hour and a half with no budget whatsoever. The songs range from some of my very oldest music (the waters, siren song), to stuff that I wrote about half an hour before recording and just kind of tossed some chords in as I recorded (pretty much everything else), to a cover of Natasha Khan's absolutely gorgeous Seal Jubilee. This is a sad little acoustic dream folk album about love, loss, and near-death experiences, to name just a few things. It's also one of the few times that I've made something that I'm kinda proud of.
