about

‘Drift’ is a souvenir of the pandemic, a way to bracket off this time: for me, this is what it felt like to live, 2020-2021. A drifting, murky experience, punctuated by both intensity and strange slowness.

These songs came about accidentally and awkwardly across the span of about six months. They were an escape from another recording project that I was working on, offering a place to experiment with chance and randomness. All of the songs were recorded with a guitar and some effects pedals, then later edited into shape while still trying to retain that initial naturalness. Em heard the nautical sounds in the songs, which led to the titles. These are messages in bottles, sailing strange seas.

Thank you for listening.
