DISCOGRAPHY
No
Hay Pueblo Vencido
|
We
released "No Hay Pueblo Vencido" ("No Defeated People") on March 19,
2009. Vencido features kinetic electronic compositions, political
rock and acoustic nueva canción, with the musical talents of producer
J.
Robbins, drummer Darren Zentek, vocalists Shawna Potter and Linsay
Rousseau Burnett, pan flautist Marco Ovando and trumpeter Ronald Rollins.
|
| In
part, Vencido is a tale of the Americas; of people standing up for
their dignity despite oppression. It's also a personal story. Vencido
tracks a dual narrative of social justice and personal evolution,
and explores the relationship between them. In the words of Edward
Abbey, "Action is the antidote to despair." |

Passengers
|
Passengers,
my first LP, is an introspective and primarily acoustic narrative
recorded with J. Goody at Megasonic in West Oakland, CA.

While
in law school at Berkeley, Garrett Wright and I formed Last
Clear Chance, an indie/post-punk
trioplaying fast and electric
material, with percussionist
Steve Mason. Seeking an outlet for quieter songs I'd written on
Spanish guitar, and for the growing sense of dysphoria occupying
my mind during my final year of law school, I made Passengers
in 2006 under a routine of moderate solitude near the bay and trains.
I recorded soundscapes from around northern California, linking
songs together to hint at a unified story. Listeners can draw their
own meanings from it, but I think the related themes of impermanence,
travel and isolation, as both personal narrative and rising social
illness, come through. I'm pleased to say it's earned the affection
of many careful listeners. |
