Bad History Month - Old Blues (2020)

Recording these songs was a pretty magical experience. Aside from the live voice, guitar, and drums, almost all of the overdubs are improvised and digitally edited after the fact. This approach continually refreshed my faith in Luck and the seemingly fated, unexpected-yet-inevitable feeling of order that finds its way into chaos when you give Risk a chance and see what happens. I enjoyed many happy hours messing around in the studio and I think these good times can be felt in the playfulness of the music. This open, playful, hopeful approach feels like a metaphor for how I'd like to live, and is also part of the message embedded in this album.

The method of building structure from improvisation was very much inspired by the band Dimples, particularly their album Whimpers. Colby and Greg both played some on this record, so a touch of their magic was transferred directly. Also, Eno in the 70s.
