about

These eleven tracks were recorded in our basement apartment in Brooklyn Heights in the year twenty-twelve. I've got some fantastic friends that play music with me, and some of them show up on this record!

Fair warning: I do not fully understand what 'mastering a track' means, but these all sound pretty good on iphone earbuds to me!

Lastly, it's free because I love you all and I do this for fun, but I would be comfortable accepting up to $5 for the full album download - no pressure, it's not like I'm gonna stop doing this stuff anytime soon either way :)
