Album Notes

*This is not a CD! This is a specialty 12" LP, on transparent blue vinyl!!!* This is a very early project by Brandon Bethancourt (of Alaska in Winter) years before he started recording AIW. This album was recorded in all night sessions during the spring of 2002 in Santa Fe New Mexico. It also features some little trumpet playing by a 17 year old Zach Condon of Beirut. This is a very low fi analog based recording very much influenced by Stars of the Lid- long Drones and minor scaled melancholy sound-scapes. A very contemplative and depressing album. comes in a beautiful full color printed jacket- blue transparent vinyl.
