Albums to Date
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?
