about

This past weekend we played some shows, we played at Vassar college on thursday, Bennington friday, and then a bar near Prospect Park in BK on saturday,, we hadn't played together in what felt like a long time and it was nice to record the set on saturday and then be happy upon listening back to it. We practiced in a tiny room at bard college and in a garage at palberta's house in tivoli,, we listened to kissing is a crime in the car,, we bought mcdonald's once, we were stuck in traffic in Albany,,, nick saw stars,,

The heights is a new song written by lucia that we r excited to work on,,

the beginning of track one was recorded outside the death by audio gear swap and the 2nd part was recorded right before we played,

the tracks were recorded by our marantz portable cassette recorder that was placed at the front of the stage.

the album art is a picture of christian on a security cam in a bodega that was decorated by all these trophies,, it was weird,,
everyone should get a portable cassette recorder.
