about

This, in all honesty, might be the greatest thing I have ever written.

I say it humbly, but few times in ones life do you ever get moments like this. The chord change I had for weeks, but god I didn't know what to do with it. I constructed the track like a big Top 40 pop ballad, with instruments and sounds gradually building up, adding to the atmosphere. The last thing that was recorded was the vocals, and even then I wound up doing multiple takes of it just to get it sounding good. Days later, the 4-minute song was finished, and I realized I really did have an album on my hands.

MAUZNER is the next step in my evolution as an artist, and I honestly couldn't be more happy with how it turned out. What I did, however, was cut the disc down from some 20-odd tracks I had recorded. Included here are two B-sides, the very Red House Painters-styled "New House" and the crazed, delirious indie-leaning "The Boy Who Cried Ambulance". My production skills have grown gradually since recording feed the little urchins, but I think it's kind of obvious why these songs were cut from the running ;-). Tacked on is a one-take acoustic version of "Boxcutter", something I recorded if not just to prove that when you take away all the production flourishes and layers of guitars, you still have a good song underneath.

Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy. I cannot thank you enough for your support.
