"Very happy this record is out in the world now. Thank you to everyone who preordered, listened, and watched the videos so far.
The kids had the drum machine and a microphone set up in the studio. They’d have their friends over sometimes, and they’d record themselves taking turns free styling. I brought them a synth and a voice pitch effect to have more options to mess with but before long, my curiosity won, and I found myself secretly stabbing around at possibilities with the unfamiliar tools, improvising, turning knobs until something would hit and a song would form. In hindsight, I can see now that it must have been what needed to come out of me, but at the time it felt like chaos and naïveté even a little desperate. It kept tapping into a part of me that I’ve come to trust, so I kept recording.”
