RABIES "WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT ME"


Here it is, our first foray into "full length album" territory. I am very proud of this, I will admit it, because Rachel wrote all the music and needless to say I am her biggest fan. It was a slow burning project, compiled from some of Rachel's slightly re-worked demos over the years and then a bunch of new tracks we recorded with Jeremy on jx-3p synthesizer in the summer/fall of 2016. Then I slowed waaay down to mix it with our friend Rob Drisdelle, had many a conversation about the "top 40 potential" and all the dollar signs that would inevitably pour on us from the golden chalice of capital. Even thought of building a house with a mote around it, complete with crocodiles imported from the Amazon. But all that evaporated because, life's too short for motes and walls and gunning for popular exposure. Plus Rachel made the mistake of giving in to my requests to "produce" it, and guess what I like XPRESSWAY more than most things. So we're proudly back to zero top 40 potential.

Dig it. I don't have a favourite track because they're all great songs in my book, and I've heard this well over 1000 times at this point. If you want a physical copy you'll be getting a pro-dubbed cassette with hand drawn illustrations by Queen Rachel. She is finishing the last bunch of copies right now as I type this. Online streams/free downloads/tape purchases can be found here. There will also be a few special CD copies for the avid collectors after we finish with our community-radio-promo experiment.

Also a release show happened a few months after the fact. Collaborative poster by myself and Nicholas Dourado:
