about

When reading interviews with artists, I've numerous times come across descriptions of the creative process as a grabbing hold of and hanging on to the art as it passes through or over them. I had a few experiences like that, but overall I thought it was pretentious.

In the summer of 2015, between the end of a relationship and a move to the small town of Sebastopol, I wrote and recorded these songs in my home of 5 years in Oakland. They were the first songs with lyrics that I'd record since arriving to Oakland, when I committed myself to studying and writing instrumental music for guitar.

I had no intention of writing music like this, but I'm glad I was pretentious enough to hold on tightly when it came.

A Struggle Not A Thought
by Chuck Johnson

This record is required listening for anyone playing acoustic guitar. In his beautifully crafted compositions, Chuck draws sounds out of the instrument that you may never have heard before. Dibson T Hoffweiler

Low Blow
by Schwervon!

This record offers a great mix of dirgy, chunky guitar sounds (the opener, "Dodger") and well-arranged pop sounds ("Balloon"). Dibson T Hoffweiler
