  This collection was recorded in Graz during the November full moon - also referred to as the mourning moon. SAMO, my faithful feline companion, kept me and Tom Zwanzger (AntiFlag, Astpai) company as we reimagined the songs at STRESS Studios. I had written the songs in my room, just me and the cat, so sitting in the studio with an array of instruments and another human’s input put me in a different realm. Over a few days, the melodies manifested into the melancholy spaghetti western soundtrack I had always wanted.
  
  ”Hiding from the Smell of Fire” is inspired by a time when I lived in Berlin and there were riots to maintain a claim on a punk squat. Cars were burned nightly and the sirens were constant; I would sit by window and listen and smell the smoke and fire wafting into my Wilmersdorf apartment. “St. Charles‘ Romance” includes a subtle nod to Kafka and was written whilst crossing the Charles Bridge in Prague, a stop along Kafka’s childhood walk to school and a pilgrimage I take whenever in Prague. My fondness for whiskey, minor chords, and a good dose of twang is threaded throughout the melodies. Even SAMO provided a bit of percussion, with her litterbox clawing, as she helpfully shared space with us humans.
