Jess wrote the lyrics for this one, and unlike when I write lyrics, they speak for themselves.

Homage, in various ways, to Bowie, Arcade Fire, Airborne Toxic Event. I wrote most of it while out running on dirt roads near the Cody landfill.

Opening track, sets the scene.

Again, Jess' lyrics speak for themselves. Man, distorted guitar is tough to mix around.

This song is a meditation on the concept of freedom.

This song is about George Washington, and how politicians in the *cough* future world this album inhabits *cough* could perhaps use a bit of his character.

The *cough* future *cough* mayor of Chicago holding court with his corporate backers.

Finally a good cut of this one. Named after Daniel Burnham of Chicago's Burnham Plan, this song is about the downfall of western capitalism. I'm completely unprepared for it myself -- I have no idea what I'll wear.
