Album Notes

ahh yes, the classic tale of a boy who rose from obscurity as a closet musician in a small town just to wake finding himself in the land of wonders known as Brooklyn. With 3 full length l.p’s under his belt (the latest being “Cheer Up~it’s Raining”), songer sing writer Justin Stivers blends 60’s rock and various early 90’s bands with the sounds in the vein of Neutral Milk Hotel and Animal Collective. All of the recordings are composed in an empty farmhouse in the middle of somewhere and in basement apartments in Seattle, Portland and New York. Though guests are known to join in on the frantic and all too often schizophrenic recording sessions, the rest of the noises and ideas are produced in their entirety by Justin Stivers.
