about

Both songs are about love, longing for someone and belonigng to someone. I think of both songs as a kind of blues, but not the usual 12-bar blues, these recordings are more like folk songs in their expression.

I am a huge fan of old vintage recordings, noise from old records, tape recorder compression, tube amplifiers and vintage equipment. I have recently purchased and old tape recorder which I used to record both these songs.

They are both recorded in one take using only a single microphone.

For mastering the two tracks I got in touch with Timothy Stollenwerk, who is a mastering legend and he has worked with many of my heroes on the alt. country, indie and blues scene eg. Bonnie "Prince" Billy, Ariel Pink, AA Bondy, Alela Diane, Alan Lomax, Blind Willie Johnson and Morphine.
