Notes

Re-release of their debut album of 2000.
Recorded and mixed in Austin (TX, USA) in June 2000.
Mastered in June 2005.

"How Strange, Innocence" was our first attempt at an album. We recorded it in June 2000 in Austin: recording took two days, mixing one day, mastering one day. Altogether we pressed 300 CD-R copies of this album. We had been a band about seven months when we recorded these songs. A lot of feelings (excitement/confusion/glimpses of visions/waking dreams/inability to play instruments) went into this record, but we didn't quite know what to do with those feelings. None of us had even been in a studio before, and it shows in the recording, the songs show it, too -- it's a young record, there are no tricks in it. There is a lightness in a few of the songs that we probably won't reach again. It sounds strange to say that instrumental songs are "about" something but to us, these songs were about such things as a couple walking through the park on a winter day, a child playing on 70's shag carpet, the story of a boy hero leading a revolution against the tyranny of the coalmines. We've had a bit of a love/embarrassment relationship with this record, at certain points along the way several of us wanted to buy back all of the copies and burn them. Listening now to this album, it almost seems like a different band composed of four different people. We finally feel okay in re-releasing it, probably because we've now made a couple of records that are closer to our visions for them. We truly appreciate anyone who is interested and listening. Thank you."
