<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Named for the grand amusement park that once graced North Oakland, <b>IDORA PARK</b> 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. </span></span><br />
