about

Secretly recorded and mixed in a closet, over the course of two weeks, for an album I'd fallen in love with in March of 2019. As much an April Fools' Day gift as a Valentine.

A handful of people heard this project around the time I'd made it, but I hung on to it like a secret for over a year before I could let anyone else listen to it. I'd do a lot of things differently now (please refer to the electric guitar tone on 'teaching functions' for more information), but it was a joy to make and I learned a lot from the process of making it.

You can find (and buy) the original album here, it still means a lot to me, as does every other band on the label: aoav.bandcamp.com/album/we-crossing-out-here-we-ready-to-die-out-here

It is humbling to remember that even when working solo, there is no way to make something totally alone.

Thank you to K for always listening through the walls, J for not kicking me out of the car when I put this on, M for infinite seltz and always being down for a fight, R for being perpetually on gchat and down to talk signal processing, APTB for love across time, M/M for loving me as I am now, B for the long walks and the extra mics, M&D for the cables and the ganas, BCHS&CEC for being the musical home I didn't know I'd needed.

Thank you also to my guitars, my handsome trusty steeds.
