How The Garden Grows is out now and available at your local record store as well as online. 🌱 This album was a long journey and so much has changed in so many ways since we first set out to track it. Immense gratitude to anyone who shared words of encouragement, came out to shows, and believed in this music over the past few years making this album. Huge thank you to those who’ve already purchased the music or helped spread the word.
Special shout outs:
Brian & the
@westernvinyl crew (Caroline/Spencer/Logan) for infinite patience, support, and just generally making this whole thing possible.
@nickgodmode gave the initial push off the cliff, inspiration/encouragement, and rode the Ring Thing on a snare bus.
@b0ygenius assisted with engineering/production.
@a_human_friend engineered the instrumental tracking sessions and set us up at The End (RIP).
Andrew Chugg really saw it through to the end, making a sculpture out of raw marble via crazy production and overdub chops. Massive gratitude for spending countless evenings in a windowless room in Dumbo.
@_sarah_register mastered these songs. Always a pleasure to work with, Sarah was willing to throw out the rule book and found a way to dial things in just right.
As for the artwork, it was such a joy to work with
@scottmreinhard on layout/design, experimenting & revising. The incredibly talented, brilliant
@will_mebane shot the images on the cover, for which
@psychojonkanoo provided inspiration. It was a treat to work with the great
@timsaccenti (
@setta_studio ) on the portraits for this release, incl the one that appears on the album insert.
