Finally.
I've put together an album. It's been something I've wanted to do for a long time and I've finally done it. GOLGA is a selection of tracks from my 6 years in LA, so it's not "new" music but simply a way for me to contextualize it, wrap it up, give it away and move on.
Because it's not exactly new music, it's not entirely representative of my artistic sensibilities as they are at present. But I'm proud of that which bred these songs and I'm satisfied that I made them. I say this primarily to apologize for all the poor recording quality, out of tune harmonies, choppy editing and overall lackluster musical capabilities.
In the same breath, I say I love it. I hope you enjoy it too.
-Click here to download GOLGA. Included with it is my first album The King's Mind, which was recorded even longer ago and entirely in the first day I had ever even heard of Garageband. So double what I said about musical sensibilities and all that shit.
-Click here to listen to the albums on SoundCloud. The individual tracks are downloadable there too.
A million hugs and kisses to Jimmy Heberling and George Krikes for contributing some bass and guitar on a song. It sounds like real fucking music with your hands in the mix. Muaw.
Big giant thank you to Nathan Spidle for hosting the recordings. Dude knows how to do everything.
Thank you Aprille Clarke, Evan Lampe, Marti Matulis and Bradley Laborman for lending your Photoshopping skills. Y'all didn't have to do that and I appreciate the speed and knowhow with which you worked.
Muchos gracis Ben Shearn, Tara Jayne and Steve Whatevermyoldroommate'snameis for letting me use your recording equipment on a couple tracks. For better or worse.
And finally, thank you Golga. You're a freak. Give your Mum a kiss on the mouth for me.
Now go outside and do something in the fresh air. You haven't even showered yet and there are incense ashes all over your table.
