about

I recorded these songs first with Jon Schenke in Evanston, IL. We were working under a lot of time constraints, and when we finished, I felt a need to keep tinkering with the performances and textures that would make up a final version of the album. I put the original sessions aside and began recording at home on a dictaphone, testing out that approach to the material. Meanwhile, the first attempt started showing up on blogs and getting passed around online. For many, this became "the album." I still often see the Hindu Windmills songs identified by the reference titles of the first sessions, as opposed to the titles I gave them on the official release. When my version of the album came out with Time-Lag, some people voiced disappointment in the recording texture. It was difficult for them to conceive of the "hi fi" recording as a demo of the "lo fi" official release. This situation, combined with some pretty disappointing production flaws in the CD packaging, made for a highly confused and delayed release. Yet, there it is.

I want to credit Rob Collier for getting on board with the engineering, arrangement, and performance of the final recording. His help and support was essential.

Thanks also to Carina Thoren for helping with the art and design.
