Notes

A side project suggested by AHT as a way to bring something unique to sell at shows during a 10 day European tour I did with Mike Ladd in the spring of 2019.

All of the song titles refer to common sights I see while walking around my neighborhood, a semi-rural buffer zone in between the small cities of Durham and Chapel Hill, North Carolina. I bought a house out here because it’s a great place to have a home studio – neighbors being at enough of a distance that aren’t noise complaints to deal with. At the same time, having grown up in a bigger city, it feels a bit odd to have this kind of relationship to space.

The vinyl version of this album, like all of Almost Halloween Time’s LP releases, has a different hand painted cover for each copy. All of them connect to the song titles, and/or the general theme/vibe of the locale.
