    [Notes]

    Ask, and Mike Gordon will tell you all about the songs he has written and
    recorded for his fourth solo album Overstep, and how the finished product
    compares to his previous releases (2003's Inside In, 2008's The Green
    Sparrow, and 2010's Moss). But as a devotee and student of the creative
    process, he'd much rather talk about how the songs came to be, and about the
    long road traveled between idea and finished work. Most artists have a
    ritual or routine that they rely on to inspire and guide their efforts from
    concept to fruition. Gordon has developed hundreds of them over the years,
    and perhaps thousands. He speaks often about the importance of listening,
    and of his commitment to following ethereal voices and visions. One such
    persistent vision he describes was of a spare cabin in the woods with a
    single window and a desk, and Gordon making music with guitarist and
    longtime collaborator Scott Murawski. So he called Murawski and proposed a
    songwriting retreat at idyllic Lake Sunapee in New Hampshire. Murawski
    accepted, and the old friends escaped together to summon the muse,
    unburdened as yet by the expectation that they would eventually record an
    album. After multiple writing retreats and an album's worth of core tracks
    in hand, Gordon took a leap of faith, and hired Paul Q. Kolderie (Radiohead,
    Hole, Pixies, Dinosaur Jr.) as producer to bring the project home. Gordon
    had self-produced all of his previous albums, but felt he was ready to
    surrender control to someone who understood his vision and loved the
    material. 'Hiring Paul was definitely the right thing,' says Murawski. 'The
    payoffs are all over the place.' Gordon cites three goals that he kept in
    mind throughout the process from start to finish: Find ways to be raw and
    sophisticated at the same time; Be groove oriented; Write songs that will be
    fun to play live. Whether an explicit goal or not, the songs on Overstep
    evidence Gordon's evolving ability to develop three-dimensional characters
    within his songs, and to speak more directly to the truth of their
    condition.
