New album: IDORA PARK


Named for the grand amusement park that once graced North Oakland, IDORA PARK is a 6-song collection (26 minutes). Recorded July - August 2012 in an apartment some 15 blocks south of where the park once sat, IDORA PARK is a reflection on the loss of a golden age, however one chooses to define that term.

An initial pressing of 35 copies has been made and will be distributed mostly to friends. However, mp3s are available below:

01. I Was Wrong
02. Idora Park
03. Boxes
04. Please Don't Let Me Go
05. Yellow House
06. A Vulnerable Man
