My first solo record, which I paid for out of pocket then sold to the label, since they had the legal right to buy it before I could flat-out own it. Recorded over the course of a whole year – mostly at Ben Folds’ studio in Nashville but also in LA, San Francisco, and Edinburgh, UK. I poured my life into these recordings for many, many months. Lots of great guest stars wandered into the sounds including Ben himself, East Bay Ray (the guitarist for Dead Kennedys) and Annie Clark (otherwise known as St. Vincent).
