Around the time I started working at Pixar about five and a half years ago, I started playing my songs acoustically in my living room with two friends.
Finally about a year ago we recorded an album. Then Sean Beresford mixed it on weekends, while recording and mixing Third Eye Blind’s new record during the week.
Jason Munn aka The Small Stakes – a great Oakland-based designer who’s designed posters for among others Wilco, Death Cab for Cutie and Beck – liked the music and did the CD cover and poster.
The album is finally finished and I’m really pleased with it.
