These three songs are the result of my years at work developing a new style of songwriting for myself. After all these years of playing and writing I really wanted to push myself to the limits and try everything I have ever wanted to try, while doing it all by myself. All the songs are written,arranged,and performed completely by me with a looper, drum machine, and effects chain. What I really wanted, more than anything, was to focus on my live performance and highlight how that it is a fluid and ethereal thing. Constantly changing and always different. These songs were recorded by an amazing musician (Chris Alfano of East of the Wall, and NY in 64) in his rehearsal studio over two days. To preserve the live atmosphere we recorded only three full versions of me playing each song live with a scratch vocal track(choosing not to track each part or change independently, but playing the full songs with only the drum machine, guitar and vocals on one track each). We then recorded main vocals in much the same way, experimenting with melodies along the way. The last day was spent cherry picking our favorite parts from each run-through and then mixing them all together. Anyone who sees me live will get to experience the songs as one complete, uniform musical piece, but I felt that doing so on the record at this time would not represent the songs correctly and could not be any happier with the songs that I present to you today. I chose this title because I know that no matter how old you get, the same things can still come back to haunt you. Always over your shoulder. These songs are all very personal and important to me, no matter what happens. Thanks so much for your time.
