Talons’
“in retreat”
I wrote most of these songs in 2023. I’ve tried many times to record them on this old tenor guitar that Al K from Six Parts Seven gave to me. It won’t stay in tune and regardless, I just haven’t been able to get it done.
There’s a lot about the Covid era that I can’t get past. It changed me and largely not for the better. Everything is absurd and somehow we need to press on and go to work and pretend like things make sense.
Time is passing and I decided to sit down and play everything live to 1/4″ tape. Out of tune. Out of key. But here they are. Things are not OK. The near future is bleak, but we’ve gotta dig in and grind it out for the kids.
