The oldest recordings of me that best stand up today were the most basic - just me singing and playing guitar. This album attempts to renew that old feeling of self-absorbed solitude. I thought it would be fast and easy, but wasn't taking my recent peculiarities into account. I tried lots of ways to record - live in the Tambourine Lounge, one mic at the kitchen table, two mics in various places - and finally settled on two mics in my room, four feet from where i sleep. These tracks were picked from countless takes recorded in the past year or so. Some pieces were added for continuity, and finally i overdubbed a few harmonies and hired a professional mastering engineer. I think it's a better post- than pre-election set of songs, so it's good that it took a while to come out. :) credits released December 1, 2024

I recorded this album in the Holiday Music Motel in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin. Ten of the songs, i wrote myself and three are co-writes: "Waves On The Blue" was with Eric McFadden, "Madam Black" with Connor MacDonald, and "A Tug On The Line" with Marina Lima.

The cover image is adapted from the 1902 film "Le Voyage Dans La Lune (A Trip To The Moon)" by Georges Méliès. I added the can and Stephanie Trenchard touched up the moon surface.

Thanks Jeff, Joe, Anna, and Stephanie, and Will for your ears, Kate and Eric for helping to select and sequence the songs, melaniejane for everything she does, and Adam and Jen for unused cover art (it will all come to light). <3

Mastering was done by Nathan James at The Vault in Phoenix, Arizona.

"A pioneer of techno-folk pays tribute to synth-pop's penultimate heroes, offering beautifully stripped-down guitar/vocal versions of Depeche Mode's synth-driven hits."

My own personal tribute to the songs of Depeche Mode began in 1989 when i bought the cd single of "Personal Jesus" which contained lots of b-sides, including a couple acoustic demo versions. That's when i learned that Martin Gore wrote all those songs on guitar before bringing them to the band. Soon i began playing "Personal Jesus" on my solo gigs and people thought it was cool. Then, throughout the '90s i kept "decoding" other DM songs back to thier humble guitar origins, maybe adding something of my own but always staying faithful to the DM synth arrangements as much as i could. One-by-one, starting with "Policy of Truth" I translated most of their greatest hits into my native tongue (acoustic guitar) and expanded my vocabulary in the process. The album was released in 2003 on the German "Ulftone" label. Thanks to Ulf Zick (the most American sounding German man i've ever known) for releasing and promoting it all over Europe. To John Parish for producing and playing on the basic tracks. And to a bunch of friends, expecially Jeff and Connie for

"Lockbox Babies are the songs that go into storage soon after they're written. They're the misfits, the ones that don't make it out into the world, not necessarily bad, just... different. Some showed sides of me i didn't want want people to see. Many were memoirs of loneliness and heartbreak appropriately played solo and alone. A few were never played again after these recordings were made. None were released and most were forgotten until this collection was harvested from old tapes and hard drives. I shouldn't be surprised that they all fit together, being such misfit birds of a feather." -from the original liner notes

Released January 21, 2019

The oldest tracks (2&6) are circa 1995, captured by Paul Dieter at Jackson Browne's studio in Santa Monica, CA. The opening song was recorded by Vincent Gates at his home studio in Seattle - a 2006 session my friend Joe Kaftan set up. Track #9 was written in the Virgin Islands at the St. John Songwriter Festival and recorded there by Steve Hamilton. The rest are all self-recorded, sonically improved by Holiday Music Motel engineers Billy Triplett (at the Holiday) and Steve Hamilton at Makin' Sausage in Milwaukee. I can't thank all these guys enough. And special thanks to melaniejane!!! Thank you too, for investing a little time - it's only 12 songs and most are under three minutes. :)

Ten previously unknown tracks from the '70s, dubbed from the original 5" and 7" reel-to-reel tapes show sides of the 18-26 year old songster that few have known or imagined. The playing and writing, from pseudo-gospel to fingerpicked blues to jazzy swing, are surprisingly mature. "This is a record of a time when I was living out of a car, on couches, cots, etc. It reflects my '70s living conditions: crude, minimal, sometimes dirty." You can listen and download> HERE.
