The Yellow Dress
Watch Out! Watch Out! Down With Dr. Gallup!
This album is about the city of San Francisco, and also dreams, and also what it is like to be alive and kind of sad at the end of the first decade of the 21st Century, but all that it wants is to make you happy and maybe sing along sometimes.
All songs on this album were written and performed by the Yellow Dress: Dan Weiss, Jonathan Kirk Moyer, Mark Roquet, and Jasmine Moser. It was recorded, mixed, and generally made to sound like a real thing by Dave Reep at Third Culture Records in Oakland, CA. Dave also played pedal steel on Oak Tree and Dust and White Ashes. The album art is by Walter Green and we recruited lots of other help from other friends along the way.

The album title comes from the book "Joe Gould's Secret" by Joseph Mitchell. It is a very good book.
