Press Play! You're listening to the 88khz high resolution files that were pressed onto wax. I advise the use of headphones (or a good pair of speakers) and listening directly in Bandcamp (where you'll maintain high resolution. If you download, choose a high-res FLAC file instead, the MP3's will revert it all back to "normal"... FYI. Thanks for listening!

"Thanks to my family and friends, my foes and my fears. Special thanks to the lovely Lyla Ocean and to the flight over Saskatchewan for inspiring the songs written while I was on the road.
Thank you (forever) to The Grand Old Lady, you brought me the love of my life and the best 4 minute performance I'll ever have on any stage.
And lastly, thank you to the trains, planes and automobiles that took me across the great Canadian landscape to inspire the making of this album. As you listen to the album, you travel with me from the Pacific to the Atlantic Ocean (and there's literally a recording of the waves from the shores of Cape Breton) Enjoy the journey."
Thank you for your ears, your time and your generosity.
