about

VOL.I
“Aw fuck…” It’s May in Aspen Colorado and it didn’t snow this winter, and it hasn’t rained in months. They’re warning about wildfires.

I’ve just dissolved the band; I’ve lost my apartment, car and all my music gear to my ex. She’s sent some papers saying she’s also going to sue me for wasting six years of her life. I’m in debt up to my ears from lawyers, the cost of starting a new life and therapy. I’ve also gotten fat.

I’ve rented an apartment in a nice couple’s house. It’s the size of my old bathroom. I can almost touch each side with both hands at the same time. On the upside, it’s got a closet that’s about three feet deep and six feet tall. I borrow some gear from a friend and set up the smallest recording booth in the world.

“I couldn't feel more opposite, then what this ring has to say”

I’m completely whacked. The new record from my old band is supposed to be released next month. I'd been working on it for over a year. I’m going to trash it, take a loan out and pay back the investors. I’m going to make the most fucked up album documenting the past two months and release it for free.

It was a hot May night when I recorded the first song. Earlier that day, I saw the woman who I had been having an emotional affair with. Any type of communication would have been useless. I just kept walking. I sat in the closet and recorded “Sydney” I remember my apartment being very clean and the sun had already set.


lyrics

Pretending I don't care,
Calling me from across the street,
Pretending I don't care,
As I nurse my coffee,
I'm pathetic,
I'm pretending, I'm not here,
A question of a phone call,
I say it doesn't matter

A stupid note,
Not sure if you want to respond,
I'm not sure if I want you to respond
A question of a phone call,
A stupid note,
A question of a phone call

Cigarettes and Listerine
My stomach hurts but my teeth are clean
reading the same books again and again
Not looking for hooks,
Haven't had a chorus in over two months
just ink on paper
