Free the Fawns!

A slew of these demos span the last eight years, while the rest will eventually stretch a good distance into the future. Some are thought out with Chris Hansen at the helm. Others are modest fumblings, all-night wrestling matches with GarageBand and pitch-black, cold coffee. Simply, the Fawns are everything that’s out of reach. Silhouettes I’ve loved, apparitions I’ve lionized from the corner of my eye. Mostly, they are, were and will always be an ideal. Wildness, willingness, innocence and knowledge. Pure energy. These are the relentless visions that keep forcing me back to my guitar and in an attempt to connect with the rest of the world.

Last Light Demos

 

Fawn Demos

Right after we finished mixing Last Light, I had a songwriting frenzy that lasted roughly a year. I could write a complete song at any time. Buying juice at the bodega — songs. Half asleep and regretting a day of badly volleyed sentences — songs. The music overtook me to the point that I felt truly mad. I had a hard time thinking without hearing instruments scoring my thoughts. (And now, of course, I fully miss those droning days.)
