about

Much of "Art Rock Asteroids" (the previous album) was recorded around the time I worked at Amazon, specifically the song "Doom Year's Eve". This song is more or less an autobiographical account of that time in my life.

The intro to the song was created by using an amp simulation with high distortion and reverb while searching for an appropriate tone. I found out the pickups were picking up my voice in the process, so I ended up recording a vocal track using the guitar as a mic. I might use that effect again in the future.

lyrics

Verse 1:
It happened in the summer
Just a few short years ago
I lost the best job I ever had
And I felt really low
I searched and searched for many months
Until all hope was gone
That's how this punk from Wisconsin
Went to the Amazon

Chorus:
There, you do not matter
You just chop down the trees
You try to keep the numbers up
And break your back with ease
A Baghdad of 9/11s
Makes one think of the knife
So I put on some Husker Du
And contemplate this life

Verse 2:
Felt like Doom Year's Eve was always
On the horizon
Got me a case of the Wanderlust
For a better season
At least I got a Bass Guitar
To escape from these droids
And all my bitter feelings
Brought the Art Rock Asteroids

Chorus

The Journey Has Just Begun...

I knew Joe Mayeur, the guitarist on this album. It's also a great album if you're into reggae from the Dairy State. Buskers
