Release Notes:
--------
Fables is a sparse, poignant set of songs crafted around Ramirez' starkly
beautiful baritone, which the New York Times once described as full of "haggard
loneliness." In a world full of singer-songwriters hawking their stories,
Ramirez has managed to stand out from the noise, developing a fiercely loyal
following of fans who are drawn to his intimately personal songwriting. The
album's title, 'FABLES,' was inspired by the first single, "Harder to Lie,"
which captures the moment Ramirez realized, as he puts it, "I couldn't bullsh*t
with her [my girlfriend] anymore. She knew me completely. It got me thinking
about how much I bullsh*t in my life - exaggerating stories, faking a smile, or
whatever. Just telling fables. When you don t know who you really are you can
end up hurting people."
That newfound maturity and clarity translated into his approach in the studio,
as Ramirez traveled to Seattle to work with his friend Noah Gundersen, who
produced the album. "My previous albums were a bit less personal. I always went
in with a certain idea of what I wanted them to turn out like. I had never just
walked in and said 'let s just see what happens.' And that's what we did this
time. From the writing to the recording, it was just based on instincts."
