▌░ ░▐
▌░ It was early March 2020 and the Big Thief tour had just been ░▐
▌░ cut short, so I flew from Europe to NYC. It just so happened ░▐
▌░ that there was a little cabin available for rent right next ░▐
▌░ door to Zoe and Brian in the mountains in Western MA. So I ░▐
▌░ grabbed my truck and drove out to the country. As I settled ░▐
▌░ into the cabin over the course of a month, I grew really ░▐
▌░ connected to the space itself. The one room cabin felt like ░▐
▌░ the inside of an acoustic guitar - it was such a joy to hear ░▐
▌░ the notes reverberate in the space. ░▐
▌░ ░▐
▌░ I got a hankering to capture it, so I called my friend Phil ░▐
▌░ and asked ôHowÆd you like to get outta the city and make a ░▐
▌░ record that sounds like the inside of an acoustic guitar?ö ░▐
▌░ Phil said ô100%ö and by the grace of some of our dear ░▐
▌░ friends, we were able to gather the materials needed. Brendan ░▐
▌░ lent us about 45 tape machines. Eli lent us a binaural head ░▐
▌░ (which looked remarkably like Phil), and Shahzad lent us a ░▐
▌░ pile of XLR cables. I drove into the city at 5am on the 20th ░▐
▌░ of April, scooped up Phil and then we filled my truck to the ░▐
▌░ brim as we stopped and gathered the gear along the way back ░▐
▌░ to Massachusetts. ░▐
▌░ ░▐
▌░ We unloaded all of the equipment into the small cabin and ░▐
▌░ began setting up. Unfortunately, one of the first things that ░▐
▌░ happened was the unstable electricity fried four of our tape ░▐
▌░ machines, including the Otari 8 track. Bill tried to fix it ░▐
▌░ at his shop in Sturbridge, but it was beyond repair. ░▐
▌░ ░▐
▌░ After almost three weeks of setup and troubleshooting, the ░▐
▌░ studio finally was operating - although the only functioning ░▐
▌░ tape recorder we had was PhilÆs battery powered Sony Walkman. ░▐
▌░ We felt at peace with the idea that we might just be ░▐
▌░ recording the whole record on cassette tape, but that would ░▐
▌░ have meant no overdubs, so IÆm grateful for the rescue Otari ░▐
▌░ 8 Track that Brendan was able to dig out of storage and ░▐
▌░ deliver to us right before we had lost all hope. ░▐
▌░ ░▐
▌░ I had a handful of songs that I was planning on recording, ░▐
▌░ but by the time Phil arrived I was on a whole new level of ░▐
▌░ heartsick and the songs were flying through my ears. I was ░▐
▌░ basically lying in the dirt half the time. We went with the ░▐
▌░ flow. A lot of the focus was on getting nourishment from our ░▐
▌░ meals. We cooked directly on the woodstove, and we went on ░▐
▌░ walks to the creek every day to bathe. ░▐
▌░ ░▐
▌░ Nine of these songs were written freshly during the recording ░▐
▌░ session. We began and closed each day with an improvised ░▐
▌░ acoustic guitar instrumental, and we made a collage of our ░▐
▌░ favorite pieces, which became the first side of the ░▐
▌░ instrumentals album. ░▐
▌░ ░▐
▌░ IÆm grateful that this music has come into existence. These ░▐
▌░ songs have helped me heal. I hope that at least in some small ░▐
▌░ way this music can be a friend to you. ░▐
