about

Tracks 1-14 originally made up the "Turn It Down" CDR, with the exception of "Basement Life", "Start In The Water" and "Synthesizer Parts (Demo)", which were added on as bonus tracks for the 2012 reissue. Originally released in the late summer/early autumn of 2004 on Ypsilanti Records in an edition of 50-75 CDRs. This album had 11 songs and in 2012 when Corleone approached me about doing a vinyl reissue, I added three extra tracks recorded around the same time. There were 150 copies of the LP pressed.

Tracks 15 and 16 were demos made around the same time.

Tracks 17-22 represent most of the known recorded material from Birdsong, a project that me, Juan and occasionally Eliza worked on around this time. There was a CDR that came out in early 2005 with the first five songs and "Everywhere" was included on the Ypsilanti Folk Singers comp that came out later that same year. Birdsong never played any shows and these songs were for the most part, the product of a super inspired hang/jam that Juan and I had on Christmas Eve of 2004.
