Good Times

“Good Times is a collage of spur-of-the-moment inspiration. Process-wise, the album features surrealist techniques (automatism, collage, improvisation) both in the music and the lyrics. It was created from scratch in four days at Big Nice Studio in Lincoln, RI. For me, it was a vacation and a chance to play music with friend and producer Bradford Krieger. No road maps, no strategies, no blueprints. We started with a few loose, solo bass lines from Dave Kahn, around which Bradford and I built up the album. In a way, Good Times serves as a diary that tries to capture a lucid yet fleeting, four-day escape from reality.” – Alexei Shishkin
