Nocturne
(LP III — the new record)
Cover — shot on 35mm
Nine songs cut live to tape across four Sundays, one lamp on the floor and the rain that showed up at 3am. No click, no punch-ins, nothing added after the fact.

(How I make a record)
Write it standing up
Songs get built on my feet with a guitar plugged in, played through end to end until the shape of it shows up.
Set one lamp
Two microphones on the room, one on the voice. I move the mics and the amp, not the faders, until it sits right.
Roll the tape
Three takes maximum, no click and no punch-ins. The rain, the chair and the amp hum all stay in the song.
Keep the best take
I keep the take that felt best in the room, not the tidiest one. That is the whole of my quality control.
