A shiny screen-printed CD in a 6-panel card case with exclusive artwork and a prose poem sort of thing in the way of liner notes. Look at it and think of the cool waters and monolithic pines of scenic North Idaho.

Cassette + Digital Album
This is a sky-blue, music-grade cassette made of recycled plastic inside of a clear case, with artwork specially redesigned for the odd strictures of the J-card format. An impractical, perishable object which could be nice to have around in your limited time on Earth.

lyrics
"Attention please;
your attention, please:
the mall will soon be closing."
You shift your weight
off the jewelry case
smudged with the fingerprints
of the long day.
You stare down through your spread hands
at the things you can't afford
glittering, glittering
like a dragon's hoard.
The cookware displays
and sale signs give way
to a small town
made up for the holiday.
And the headlights off of 95
twist your stomach in the dark
and you couldn't say why,
but you run for the car.
And the evening stands there empty,
like it can hardly bear to be,
like a taxi throbbing waiting waiting waiting.

I'm in awe of the stories Eric tells with such an economy of words here. The magnificent arrangements and weighty vocals, which seem always about to fade into sigh or groan, also help. Harrison Lemke
I made a video game, and this is the soundtrack by my Casiotone guitar pop / ambient / experimental music project. That's a weird digression but sometimes life is like that. Harrison Lemke
