Bean Hollow is here.
Release day is always weird, but I’m glad for these songs and all they’ve guided me through.
Thank yous:
This record would not exist without
@____orion__ — his faith in the songs, and his loving, thoughtful, attune drum and concept work that shaped each of these tracks.
@realshit_ty persevered through one of the most suboptimal recording situations which involved literally recording his parts remotely from Oregon while we were in the studio at Stinson Beach. Michael played the sax and clarinet without inhaling for I think minutes on end?? and John pieced it all together patiently, generously, joyfully, with unrelenting faith in the songs and the project, also introducing us to
@yeemz.cello who brought the gorgeous cello in.
@dandysounds tolerated my endlessly nitpicky mastering notes, and Kate designed the art as she always does — with insight, love, and clarity. Thank you also to the whole bad tiger fam for playing these songs out loud:
@pedestrian_adj ,
@ryanngonsalves , Tennessee;
@legscrossedeyesclosed ,
@rigidandstrongman . And then
@perhapsymusic and
@_jcamden_ and all our friends at
@thefountainconcertseries for joining the family and making us all some gorgeous cassettes.
Somehow these things have a way of coming together and a record is born.
What a gift, what the hell. A miracle every time.
Anyway, thanks for reading this far, that’s it. The record is all yours now! Take what you need — and if it speaks to you, and you’d like to, tell us all about it?
xx, bt
