about

presenting an alternate time-line~~
from "Postcards From The Edge" : an adventure story ~ by GB

".....In early March 2019, I drove out from Los Angeles with my studio packed into my car, a destination in mind and a singular purpose—to record a new album—but no clear direction. 


I’d been working on a new batch of songs for over a year, many written on extended sojourns in London, Paris and Brussels in what had amounted to a failed attempt at fleeing the USA. Now back in Los Angeles, I found myself picking up the pieces and living in a tiny windowless room in Highland Park that doubled as my studio. I spent all my spare time obsessively recording and re-recording the songs, layering instruments—guitar, bass, an amazing antique organ I found in the alley next door, xylophone, shakers, and my own voice—using 4-track and 8-track cassette machines, playing everything myself, and pushing to complete the record single-handedly. I was developing a sound, and learned a lot about recording in the process, but also became keenly aware of my own limitations. I wondered if I was creating a “lost tape” that might not be heard for half a century. Nothing was coming together to my satisfaction, until I had a chance encounter that changed everything.
