about

Over the years, I've always gone back and forth about exactly what Our Twilight Pastime's albums should sound like. Should they be more simplistic guitar-and vocals-only tracks? Or should they have a full, lush studio sound that I wouldn't be able to recreate live?

On Directions, I decided to go for the latter. I built upon a basic acoustic guitar skeleton I had, invited Chris over to play some trumpet, mixed it up, and got this as a result. Old-school OTP fans will know that this whole solo project started as very layered compositions as opposed to singer/songwriter stuff. Don't believe me? Check out Selcouth/Sysiphian .

lyrics

There's construction up ahead
that's stopping us
from going any further with this.

We're repaving our lives,
we're fixing what potholes we see
that we've gotten over time.

We're both taking a detour
and getting the hell out of here.

But as I'm sitting in this traffic
of these past few months,
you probably don't know
i've been thinking about this--
about you;
about placing my hands, like directions, into yours,
and asking "where should we go?"
