these old(ish) and book(ish) kind of illustrations

They remind of me Shel Silverstein and childhood things

editorial portraits/odd headshots

This is my board of all of the possible weird photoshoots I’d love to take inspiration from. The basic premise is one day I will publish a novel and when the reader flips to the inside sleeve how can I make the most abstract or odd version of an Author Photo.

'the crick' photobook by jim mangan

this is hands down the sickest photo book of 2024. Jim is an ace photographer, I've followed his work for the past decade-ish. he and my mom also dated for a while which was odd and not a particularly important detail. but the images in this book are just fucking insane. the fact that they were shot within this millennium is beyond, they should be from 1927 or something. I like to imagine what it must have been like to embed with these boys and photograph their unique lifestyle, would just be so surreal in the greater context of the wild fundamental Mormon sect they were raised in. beautiful images, a very beautifully put together book, and all around a really good deep dive into a weird corner of america.

RECORDING LIVE

We are pretty adamant about recording the drums and guitar at the same time. It’s important for us to be in agreement about song structure and tonality when we’re getting a basic track. Less things to fix or think about later. We used to record the vocals live years ago. But why not use the linear aspect to use time getting an appropriate performance and really think about some cool overdubs?

SHIPS AND TRAINS

Being from coastal Massachusetts… love a ship, love a train. When this band formed, we took a ferry in order to rehearse. 15 years later, Sal made sure that we saw the SS United States (still holds the record for fastest transatlantic crossing) last time we played in Philadelphia. Growing up in a place without trains, the fascination has never ceased. We recently went to this model train expo at the Big E (eastern states exposition and fair grounds). At approximately 450,000 square feet, I hear it’s the largest in North America! Cooper got a conductor pin and Sal got an engineer pin.

SPACE HEATERS

We relied upon at least one space heater in the garage to make this record. The night Cooper brought a space heater to Sal’s studio was the beginning of a series of thoughtful events. We continue to toy with the fiery imagery of a space heater.
