In February 2008, I spent a couple days in a Seattle studio with Producer John Goodmanson (Nada Surf, Blonde Redhead, Harvey Danger), musicians Nick Harmer and Jason McGerr (of Death Cab For Cutie), and Jacob Hoffman (of The Lashes). I left town with a handful of raw recordings, tracked live, with a few overdubs. Now I'm sharing two of these tracks with you.
