Is Molting by John

This album was written and recorded over many years. Some songs date back to old bands and old memories, variously in Naperville, IL; Urbana, IL; Columbia, SC; Cincinnati, OH; and mostly Berkeley, CA. I owe thanks to many of the people associated with those bands and the people in those memories. For the most part, you should know who you are. I would like to call attention to a handful of people. Connor Boyle for helping to record, mix, and master. April Novak for helping me to write and think out many of these tracks, and for always being a sounding board for me. Larena Code for playing some piano parts way back a few summers ago. Dominic Glimco for helping to record some of the uglier feedback tracks on this album. Andrew Smykowski for helping me develop a handful of the tracks on here back when they were played under the flags of other bands. And all of my friends. This album would be absolutely devoid of life without you.

I have wondered for a long time if I had it in me to make another album. It has been slow, but I am happy to see that I still find enough satisfaction in music to put together this ultimately meaningless combination of sounds and feelings. Even if I never again put out another album, I am happy to have at least made this small contribution to the musical landscape which has meant so much to me throughout my life.
