Recorded during the summer of 2009 while fixated on an alpine scene photograph purchased at a thrift store. Random copies include screaming phone messages about Jean-Claude Van Damme, but for most, a mood of cool contentment prevails. Best suited for hiking or warming up in the lodge after sleeping outside.
Same Usual Midwest Excitement:
ye olde letterpress action on packaging
"trendy" cut-up Childcraft Encyclopedia insert art
massively home-made disk
unique smells and 1986-style committment to staying underground.
Notable Changes:
larger amplifier traded in for two 10-watt practice amps
addition of Memory Man and Two-Timer
Tascam digital 8-track replaces withering cassette unit
no longer sending output into wrong input (thanks, Forest Gospel)
