about

It will never take me 14 months to release a record again.

I started recording this album whilst in the process of recording Blue Hole, because this album initially started life as a modular recording inspired by The SMiLE Sessions, (hence Frigid Dream & Cognitive Reflux.) Shortly after releasing Blue Hole in May, I went to California for a year with my family, no instruments or anything. It was pretty nightmarish, but that's a story for a different day.

I came home in February and resumed work on the record in April, after I got my recording situation set up again. I recorded False Nostalgia and released it, the first record of mine with vocals, and that sparked a lot of inspiration when I got some positive feedback for it. So on this record there's only 4 instrumental songs. I don't think i could imagine pulling that off a year ago. after trying hard to pull off the modular recording aspect of the album though, I decided that it would be too much to try to do and probably would've ended up taking another year, so i chose some of my favorite modules and stretched them to song length, and made a 12 song album rather than a 20 song modular monolith, (maybe my next project though...)

Now, finally, MY SMiLE. The seemingly unfinishable project that dragged on way too long and finally released with good result. I hope you guys enjoy the record as much as I do.
