• Break It Up, an excellent unheard album by Merchants of Soul

  

  I feel honored to have worked with Jay; he put an abundance of trust in me when I had way more ambition than understanding of how the heck to produce and engineer a proper album.

• Song: American Dream

  

  I recorded this song several times until arriving back to the basics of folk rock instrumentation (including the two chords I know on the mandolin!).

• Song: Thought Cop 2084

  

  Being the enforcer of speech codes can be lonely in my as-yet-not-fully-imagined futuristic Orwellian musical. In this song, I assume the role of a police officer charged with finding and eradicating non-state-sponsored materials littering the landscape of communication.

• Song: Weirdy

  

  Non-creative types can construe the artistic drive in others as confusing or off-putting. This song embraces that weirdness.
