Found a small stack of these while unpacking from the move. I spent a couple years working on this album for Second Sun Recordings, and it's (I think) a pillar in my repertoire. This album is intended as a part of the unnamed cycle of releases, starting with Eight Thousander, then Nine Billion Names, then Summer's Parting Ways (which isn't yet released), then Blue Wheatfield, and what follows beyond that is not yet complete. These copies are packaged in black-tray jewel cases with factory printed inserts and an in-house duplicated/printed white disc (meaning that these are the second edition of the pressing - the first featured a color printed disc face with a photo of my late cat Zimmie). Long since out of print and rare!

**NOTE: The items listed in the back catalog sale have all been found while unpacking. Some of them have been packed away for years in storage, and may have small imperfections. These are being sold as is, as the artifacts they are, to raise money for implementing the new studio. No refunds will be given.

about

The album Brian started recording as far back as the Eight Thousander sessions, and also the record he has always intended to be written especially for Second Sun. Musically it covers alot of guitar-heavy territories...an epic 70 minute record that cycles through somber drone-beds, backwoods acoustics, gigantic distorted slabs of doom and beautiful bent melodies looping forever. Occasionally through the haze you can make out organs, basslines and field recordings that echo the album's cozy home cover art. This is Brian's first full-length at SSR under his own name, and as such we'd like to consider it his first proper solo album here, with unified concepts of art, sound, memories, locations and numbers all planted firmly in place. It's a very sad record that sounds like it's trying to find its way home again, even though it already knows that place no longer exists. Perfect listening for the advent of Autumn.
