Tartessos (possibly the "Tarshish" of the Bible) was a fabulous city in Southern Spain that the Greeks and Phoenecians often visited. I wanted to evoke a sense of adventure.

I could not turn off certain synthesizers while I was programing this one, so I kept it as it was. Desperate sounding, I thought.

I believe the recording in the background is from a spy station. The other is a Spanish sonnet.

I was listening to Dinosaur Jr. on my commute one day. I tried to write the lyrics in the vocal style of J. Mascis. The first line of the chorus comes from a fortune cookie. Inspiration comes from everywhere, I guess.

It started with the opening riff. I liked the sound of a twangy guitar riff over a heavy drum loop. The B section has an almost jazzy feel to it. I'm happiest with the bassline.

reading too much sci-fi makes you paranoid and using too many effects pedals can make your songs repetitive, loud, and long.

The closing track of Dearly Departed. I will come back, but I don't know where or when. Open, ethereal, a departure in terms of tone, and for me.

Bouncy, with ear candy. Wanted to do something different with this one, keep it from being too predictable. I think I succeeded. I also happen to really like my "squawk, squawk" gtr stabs in the verses.

Stripped down, I almost did this one as a live, one take vox and gtr "on-mike" bit. I did the song, kind of liked, but decided to do a tracked version, just to see what it would sound like. Ended up liking it more.
