Buy album

This album is a collection of memories and live recordings from the years 2018/2019. Recorded, mixed around, and compiled in Mexico City DF, San Antonio TX, Ciudad Juarez CHIH, El Paso TX, Albuquerque NM, New York City, and Ithaca NY. These are not meant to be a traditional album— a refined work, rather they are a glimpse into travels and shared moments captured with minimal production or even minimal equipment. At first hesitant to share such a collection; after realizing that much of the music people listen to are live recordings, I figured listeners may get just as much value from these songs as they are a source of memory for me.
