“Do you remember the first time you fell in love?”
Twangy, dark, and delightfully unhinged: Ultimate Rick Jones conjures Lovecraftian dread in a haunted-room collaboration with John Serrano, while Bon Voyage takes a grandfather's cruise story somewhere darker and delightfully unhinged. Tell the Captain adds mandolin and a wry salute to anyone who refused to go down with the ship. Mikey Dorje delivers a live one-take marvel of hardware synths and acoustic guitar via real-time Max for Live manipulation, and Zane Alexander captures songs in passing — imperfect, immediate, and alive — with wind, birds, and evening air as part of the performance. Two For Joy rounds things out with a raw DIY release about playing music when no one's really listening.
