It took me a summer of recording and a winter of mastering, but finally I am done with my newest project, an album called Soundtrack. It was easy to just mess around with an acoustic guitar and write simple songs before, and that’s cool, but I wanted to try something different. When I listened to other albums with huge instrumentation backing the solo artist like Julian Casablancas’ recent album Phrazes for the Young, I thought, why can’t I do that? So I studied drum machines, orchestra arrangements, electronic bass, vocal manipulation, etc, and made this short album.

Hopefully, this will be “Disc 1″ of a three disc Soundtrack album. The discs being separated by color (red, blue, and green), and each disc sounding completely different. This one will be red. We’ll see if it expands into that. I’m done writing the music for the other discs, but who knows, once I’m done producing them maybe they’ll be their own album. But anyway, I hope you enjoy!

“Holy crap, this is fantastic. Making Silence especially has a rich, sweet sound to it that’s perfectly placed after the ambient formlessness of much of the preceding.”
- Aaron Haynes

“The opening of Sun Swallow totally made me prick my ears up and pay attention, and then when the distortion and fuzz kicked in I was fucking hooked. Experimentalish little things like the reverby guitar in Song You Can’t Hear just push this whole album into a brave and super-creative other territory.”
- James Humphreys

“I really loved this album. Sun Swallow sucked me in straight away, amazing vocals…really liked the riffs in Living On The Screen…Making Silence is just phenomenal. Two thumbs, more people should get this.”
-Guy Collins
