The Grumpa Fell Down the Rabbit Hole – Obsessive. Started recording on a Tuesday afternoon and hit the save on Wednesday morning. A bird nest of chords, pedals and scribbled notation are always a good indicator. Dig the pitch drift in the chorus. Wonky. Backward fuzz guitar on the outro gives it a wrap.
Can You Rocket? – I drizzled away four years trying to finish the cover painting. My nephew finally said, “you should finish this.” The audio for this track was recorded in four days. Better focus. I believe aliens are a little bit more lost then we are. The Rocket can.
Small Cap Genius – Favorite track on the album. Jazz in the afterlife. Is your ball cap size a good indicator of intelligence? Shoot… gimme the biggy big. Ottobit Jr saves!!
Kubby and the Zenaquins – What’s the highest note you can sing? Traditional harmony and rhythmic invention… oh please. Almost had a breakdown trying to play this.
Something I Stirred Up with My Foot – Seven key changes and it only took eight minutes to do it. The tag is the destination with stacked harmonies. I could live there forever. Loop this. Earworm?
Favor to a Friend – First track recorded for this album. I’m a sucker for the human drums patch. Chord melody anyone? Smarmy, I know, someone had to do it. Slow down, simplify and be kind. Take your foot off the gas.
No No Fun Fair for You – Vocoder not auto-tune. My blood pressure bumped up a few points. A.I. love? He’s moved onto another program and she’s stuck in an infinite loop. Happens all the time chicken waaang!
