This album turned out to be sort of a companion album to "soulful filling". It has that same mellow vibe and melodic sensibility. I've decided to attempt to release albums with a more consistent vibe, so all my latest mellow tracks ended up on this one.

I was lucky enough to work a whole mess of truly amazing musicians in past couple years. It was an absolute honor to have Audio Angel, Josh Clark (the guitarist Tea Leaf Green, a band I have seen 20+ times), Ryan Avery, Phoebe Jevtovic Alexander, Jesse Ivry, Emiel Stöpler, Shakiban, Peter Medland, and Ryan Hughes in my "studio".

The album art was a photo taken by Sophie Thouvenin.
