I'm So Glad You're Here
Releasing soon. Listen to a preview here.
This record was self-produced and recorded over the past two years in my apartment in Allston MA and at The Record Co. in Dorchester.
Very special thanks to Matt, Jake, Jack, Tyler, Q, Forrest, Brendan, the rest of foamflower, Toni T and Carly, Jason and Dan, and my folks.
This record, is a collection of a lot of different influences, so I’ll list some of them: DIIV, Gustav Mahler, Aphex Twin, Porches, Ovlov and Pet Fox, Caribou, Alex G, A Beacon School, Robert Altman, George Clanton, Todd Hido, Mount Kimbie, Beach Fossils and House, Kurt Vonnegut, Beck, Wild Nothing, Neil Young, and Raymond Carver. This record is a collection of a lot of different feelings: hating and fearing and being scared and feeling guilty. Being bored and nervous at the same time. This record is pulling at the thread of an old sweater. This record is letting go and then snatching back. This record is grocery store sushi. This record is a day wasted. It's the feeling of salty ocean water filling your head. This record is sped up footage of a fox melting into maggots like in one of those timelapse decomposition science videos. And it's bald, fat fools in stupid, stretched-out army costumes covered in grease and cigar dust stuffing cash into their belts. It’s a little cartoon worm, with a tiny penciled-on face, wriggling into the folds of a loose brain kept humming under a heat lamp. This record is a damp parking lot on a summer night in a valley of car dealerships and Kmart strip malls. Mostly it's letting go and snatching back.
All sounds, production, mixing, mastering by Zac Kerwin except !! drums on 2, 3, 6, 9 by Matt MacKenzie and 4 and 8 by Jake Farlow.
