New 3-track ep and 18-track best-of available now dammit!!

Out right this minute is a brand new 3-track ep called BIRTHDAY. This twenty minute release features two tracks from my forthcoming ambient/experimental release to be called ULTRASOUND. Grace is a Cocteau Twins-inspired shoe-gazing instrumental with audio excerpts from my daughter's sixth birthday party. Driving is a ten minute-plus piece written and performed with my pal Ken Clinger. Think of it as a movie soundtrack to listen to while rolling down the turnpike late at night. The third track is an early instrumental mix I made of Grace while I was working on it.

The other new release is an 18-track best-of entitled AFTER WORK AND ON WEEKENDS: TWENTY YEARS OF HOME RECORDING, 1986-2006. This release picks up where OBSCURITY KNOCKS left off, and covers a wider time-span. It was supposed to have been released last year but I didn't have time to compile it until now.

Here's what's on it:

1. It Must Be Hard (Carmen) 2:07
2. Pure Love (Campau) 2:20
3. Still In Love With You (Bowman) 3:08
4. Mama Talkin’ Blues (Carmen-Schmitz) 0:53
5. Big Mistake (Carmen-Moore) 5:15
6. 7-1-90 (Carmen) 4:18
7. I’ll Get You For That (Carmen) 2:57
8. I Told Her Everything (Carmen) 3:28
9. Strawberries (Carmen) 1:03
10. I Was Expecting It To Be A Scam (Carmen-Woolson) 2:31
11. Dopey Smiles (Clinger) 2:22
12. Spinning In My Grave (Carmen-Campau) 2:58
13. I Know You Know (Carmen-Clinger) 2:50
14. Jealousy (Carmen) 2:37
