about

Originally released in a cassette edtion of 36 on FM DUST (DUST019) in 2010.

Original website blurb: "In a totally different vein from my contribution to the tape listed above (DUST018); specifically, an EP, two years in the making, of straight-up summer pop songs, realized in a way that (I hope) makes them sound like distant radio signals from a secret parallel world. What took so long for seven songs, you ask? Well, I only recorded them in warm weather, for starters. None of it was forced out of me, either... I just let these songs trickle out (or, in some cases, burst out of nowhere). That, and c'mon: I'm a busy guy! Anyway, it's all killer/no filler here... just songs, like I know some of you would prefer. To each their own! Note also that one track on this record features members of IJI, GIRL BAND, WATERCOLOR PAINTINGS, and MEGA BOG, along with probably a buncha other bands..."

Please note that one track on the original cassette does not appear here for legal reasons, a cover of "We're Gonna Hate Ourselves in the Morning", an Arthur Alexander tune made famous by Clifford Curry.
