about

This album was recorded as an intended follow-up to my 2013 sophomore LP, Lip Service, though upon completion (I finished recording 12 songs, but didn't mix or master them, these are pretty shotty mixes I did just to get the album out there with minimal additional effort). I decided I didn't like it enough to put it out as is, originally intending to re-record it in it's entirety (scheduling recording time at a local studio in the process), but eventually abandoning the songs all together. It's more minimalist/singer song-writer than my other releases; when I was still planning on re-recording the album, I wanted to get a lot of baroque instrumentation on these songs. I can still really picture flute, world percussion, and orchestration on 'High Heeled Shoes', trumpet on 'Mrs. Foster', and stand up bass through-out the album. I also planned for it to end with this really tightly produced three track suit containing avant-garde percission and organ and with a lot of it slipping into free time (a time signature that does have pulse, but no countable meter). I kind of took that set-up for the album ender/climax of Heavy Rest, but in more of a built up/wall of sound way, and less of a baroque/symphonic way.

Bottom line, I just didn't feel like the songs were strong enough to be released at the time.
