Matt DeMello
Jennifer's Appendix, Vol. 1: 'To the Person I'll Always Be' (​.​.​.​Revisited)

A hodge-podge of studio outtakes and demo tracks recorded throughout the creative process of DeMello's first album, 'There's No Place Like Nowhere'. When the album didn't quite perform up to expectations - at least to the artist's family and friends who didn't know what to make of the synthesizer orchestral arrangements - DeMello went back to basics with garage rock, power pop, and material culling from the Great American Songbook. He also included covers that more directly tied him to discography artists and self-styled composers (Paul Simon, Van Morrison, Springsteen, and the Beach Boys all make prominent appearances in the sequence).

Two tracks (the TV On the Radio cover of "Wolf Like Me" and the irreverent "Escapist's Theme) were recorded and mastered by Alex Busi at The SPACE studios in Huntington, N.Y. between August and October 2015.

The rest originally featured material primarily recorded and mastered between GarageBand and various voice memo recordings from an iPod classic. All of which was given was given a badly needed facelift with superior softwares and mastering techniques in mid-2020 (hence the 'Revisited' tag in the title).
