about

In the fall of 2002, I turned on a four-track and demo-ed the album I intended to record as a follow-up 'Life Underwater.' A lot of things changed after that.

In 2022, I discovered those four-track recordings in a box. Matthew Girard and I listened to what was on the tapes. We knew we had something essential.

These songs are made by one person, one guitar, two microphones and a long-gone Tascam recorder. They are true and pure, well-played and well-constructed. This is the only formal recording on which I use the harmonica. Everything on this album really happened between September 2001 and 2003. Everything on this album sounds like it does because Matthew Girard is a rescue artist on the mixing and mastering desk.

'Church of the Kitchen Sink: Resurrections' brings back a lost work, and it also celebrates the 20-year mark for the full-band album we made instead of it and put out on June 6, 2003.

Now the story is told. Bookends and other reflections.
