Notes

• Of the 3 EPs that constitute what I called, in my notebooks, the Old Media series, “Devil in the Shortwave” seems by far the most gonzo to me. It opens with a song that doesn’t really have a chorus, follows that up with a very aggro solo electric guitar and voice number rooted in the Book of Genesis followed by a New Zealand indie pastiche, detours into a Ewan MacColl tune I got via the Pogues, and heads for the exit with what turned out to be one of the most-requested songs I’ve ever written. To conclude a trilogy with a smidgen of chaos is immensely satisfying to me; I’m glad to have all three EPs finally remastered and available to all! (Bandcamp, 2023-06-23)
