Album Notes

This album was made through the following process:

-songs were written on a $25 organ purchased from Goodwill
-songs were configured with drum machine parts
-songs were recorded in this manner
-all the drum machine parts were replaced with real drums
-things like wineglasses were sampled and fooled with
-trumpet was played
-a real band played some of the songs
-the real band recordings were cut up to sound more like drum machines
-a song about a submarine was written
-the theme of violence was discovered and exploited
-the album was mixed and mastered over a painfully long period
-the cover was designed with the intention of silk-screening
-silkscreening was abandoned in favor of one color offset

et voila! Seesaw Sunday Nights!
