City Mountains 2006

This is the latest offering, a shakey blues and mountain album, contrasting the seediness of the city landscape with the honesty and inherant danger of nature. Mostly thrown together, first takes only. It again features the Greene Maqchine on percussion and Miss Mariah Mennie on the piano. Also a colaboration and a remix by DJ Faraday. Harder edge lyrics, and some good tyrades as well.

Nocturnal
Valley Seduction 2003

This is the next album, recorded over a seven or eight month
period in the winter and summer of 2002-2003. I hooked up some extraordinarily
talented musicians: Lead Guitar and Vocalist Lee 'Marvin'
Spurrell, pianist Miss Mariah
Mennie, and my old buddy The Greene Machine. What followed was a whole
whack of good times. Like I said, Invermere is saturated with talent and
this album is a tribute to that spirit. Some of this
material was played live to mic as to capture the rough aura of spontaneous creativity.
Due to the creativity of my fellow musicians, I think it worked.

Country Gumption 1999

My first serious
attempt at a professional sounding album. A bit cynical in its lyrical
content, however there is some really good stuff here. This was recorded
mostly in the basement of my University townhouse in Victoria, BC in the
winter and spring of 99'-2000. I had a buddy of mine, Jesse Vere, play
some of the base tracks and they worked out nicely. The recording quality
is better due to my use of a digital 8-track and some further
experimentation with reverb and chorus after-effects. This album was
shaped by both personal tragedy and my sense of isolation in a Brave New
World.

That Guy Is Me
1997

My first recording attempt, recorded on a rented
digital 4-track in the summer and fall of 1997. A very sophomoric attempt, but at least it's honest. I'm still proud of a lot of the
material here - stuff that I compiled as far back as the age of 14.

Francis
Farmer Is Dead 1995?
(Matilda's Onion)

My first ever recording, done with Dale 'Greene Machine' in my folks'
basement. Funny and embarrassing stuff - I couldn't play or sing, really -
we were just kids. Hopefully this album will come back to haunt me
someday, like at the Juno awards, ha ha. Matilda's Onion tapes sold like
hotcakes for about 5 minutes one lunch hour. Kinda just wanted to get
girls, you know? |
