Bay Area antics. Recorded a live set at @santorecording with @gregjfrancis and @thechaw , met some of @mellocutie s favorite people, 1 house exploded next door and was covered in flame at 1am (no one luckily hurt) played much music, blood was shed exactly once, interrupted a burglary once, tears were shed a couple of times, too much laughter and and love all over the place. About as good as leaving town in a van to play music with some of your best friends can go. Can’t wait for more as live music slowly returns to the world

Might be my favorite moment of composition / chord

Might be my favorite moment of composition / chord sequence on the entire record, been obsessed with this idea of treating the sax as this reedy orchestral element. A great night of recording with @andrew.d.lyons who’s contributing his talents to several tracks and nailed it. #saxytime #saxyouup also run through the absolutely gorgeous @bensonamps studio tall bird !!

Our first live show in a very long time and break

Our first live show in a very long time and break from recording is going down this Sunday at a house party, should be really fun and beautiful weather. Thank you @blck_crrnt for putting together and the other acts @guardianoftheunderdog @wye.low

Laying down vocal beds and loops when you have an opera singer in the band (also amateur engineer hour over here on my part, turn the snare off) @mellocutie you’re amazing. First real band rehearsal in almost a year tonight, such an amazing feeling. We’ve been slowly piecing together the new record through covid part by part, but to play the songs finally and be all together again was such a little gift.

Bigger, more important issues in our current world

Bigger, more important issues in our current world for sure, but sure am missing the live rock and roll with some of my best friends. Tentative Oakland and CA in July but who knows. ❤️ album 2 getting close, here’s a live snippet from almost a year ago. Fingers crossed we can bring 2nd record out of our hometown studio with all the fanfare it’s going to require.

Oh sweet resolve. @mellocutie getting the work don

Maybe last demo snippet before we go into our cocoon and get the rest of the work done. Moon’s beautiful tonight. And every night, our dear companion. Hope you’re well, wherever you are.

Instagram is not going to do justice for how much I’m in love with mixing the next record with our new studio tall bird @bensonamps #analogreverb #bensonamps . Chris, you’re killing it. This is the most non - spring spring reverb I’ve owned. Im obsessed. Thank you.

Recording an album during a global viral pandemic

Recording an album during a global viral pandemic isn’t what it used to be. But, here we are, one foot in front of the other, like everything always.

Here’s a #demo for you of a song that will be on #newalbum2021 #tapeloops #doubletrackeddrums #neverenoughmellotron // on an unrelated note, thankful for so many things after being witness to a tragedy. A reminder how delicate we dance on the wire. tell people you love them.

Hey now, A friend just sent this and it was a nice surprise, very cool to land on your 2020 Oregon albums of year list @1859oregon magazine, thank you so much! What a year. Feeling the smallest bit of optimism for the first time in a while. Can almost dream about shows supporting album 2 next summer / fall
