about

In 2013 I hauled the family to Berlin for 3 months. My son was 4 years old and I wanted to see if I could still write songs. My husband took the kid to all the incredible playgrounds and I went every day to a room with a piano in Neukölln. For the first two weeks I mostly napped on the couch and played songs by Bowie and Eno. And then songs started showing up. Many of the lyrics to these songs were things my kid said when he was just learning to talk. "With my brain and with practicing I shine a blue light." "Last night I went to the moon and an owl and frog were having a party." "I love you like a lion stuck to a bear stuck to a tiger stuck to a horse stuck to a unicorn." And then all the complicated feelings of love, family, aging, history, and deeply wanting to dance around the kitchen.

I brought the songs home and played them for John Collins, and we started to make a record based around early demos of voice and midi keyboard. The band came by and gave us some more substance. We messed around with it for a few years, and here it is. I have heard reports of people dancing around the kitchen, so that worked out.
