The debut full-length from the Pacific Northwest songwriter was meticulously assembled utilizing a mix of 4-track home recorders and professional studio equipment. Co-produced with Phil Elverum of The Microphones, the record infuses incredibly intimate acoustic songwriting with lo-fi distortion and experimental tape effects. It stands as a pivotal release in the influential K Records catalog.
