about

Here's the final album of this year's quadra-fecta. I bring you Mirrors & Smoke. It strikes me that I've recorded all these songs with the goal of duping the listener into thinking a real life band performed the material. Dear reader, I'm here to let you in on some inside biz: I recorded the whole damn thing. The most artificial part of each song are the drums. I've used state-of-the-art technology to fool you! (Malicious villain laugh here)

Why? Because, time is a precious thing. I've become very fast at writing and recording. I can easily knock out a complete song in 3 hours. It's all in the ol' noggin. There's very little guesswork and fiddling about. Why torture and prod people into doing things my way? I don't have the scratch to pay people to do my bidding. Even then, nobody enjoys it. I know what I like. People have day jobs and adult responsibilities!

These songs are mellower maybe than the ones in the last few releases. I figure, we're heading into winter here, let's give folks something eat pumpkin pie to. Enjoy.
