‘Church of the Kitchen Sink’ (2003–2023)

In the fall of 2002, I turned on a four-track and demo-ed the album I intended to record as a follow-up to my record 'Life Underwater.' A lot of things changed after that. The new season of ‘All Your Days’ starts with the story of lost work and how it was made between the events of September 11, 2001, and the day I switched on the recorder. A portrait of a year marked by fire and death, haunted spaces and creations, by the accidental making of a time capsule that would emerge 20 years later as a testament of sorts.
