the new album is done

[unpossibles]

or maybe I should say "done" as I may make some little tweaks here and there. This is the fastest thing I have ever written (I blame being single in NYC during the winter), exactly a month to write and record, although a couple of the themes were kicking in my head for a year or two. It's about half acoustic and half weird, so I expect most people to only like half of it. But I'm ok with that.

Anyway, enjoy! It's free.

1. I'm not a big fan of acoustic, but I love weird.

I'll give it a listen.

3. cool - it may not be weird enough for you

honestly I used to be a lot weirder but have learned to temper it a bit with a simpler sensibility. But it's also hard to judge my own work, you know? I mean, to a listener of John Meyer all of my stuff will sound weird, but to a Zappa, Beefheart, or Bungle fan, it's all pretty tame. I think the weirdest one is "Erato" - the last song written for the album, and a song about how I was out of ideas, among other things. I had fun with the beat of it - it's in 4/4 but I seldom hit the same place of the beat, so it has a very meandering sound, but is not super obvious.

I'll give it a listen when I get a chance. I'm sure it's good!
