11 North

I google my name whenever there isn't anything to do at work and apparently this blog actually comes up. So I'm going to blog more often. At least until I have a decent website going.

I'm making an album next month called 11 North. It's going to be really cool. The theme of the last album was being away from home. You can probably guess the theme of this one by the song titles. Here's the track list thus far:

1. I Lost My Mind
2. Fire in the Ward
3. Christian Girl
4. If E'er You Lose the Will
5. No Color in My Dreams
6. Whalemen All the Way
7. Charlie's Spanish Harlem Incident
8. Pain Medication

Surprisingly enough, the songs are all pretty upbeat. Or at least the tempo and instrumentation are. Pain Medication is by Debe Dalton, but the rest are mine. I'm really excited about doing her song. I recorded a scratch at home and sounds really neat. It's going to be part Cabaret part Sigur Ros. I might even try playing a guitar with a cello bow. But probably not.

This is going to be my debut album with Rooftop Records. Recording two days at Seaside Lounge and then spending a bunch of time adding vocals and other stuff at Blake Luley's apartment in Brooklyn. So you better be patient.
