this home-made disc was given to me at the santa swap of 2009 at Nick's house in Brighton, MA.  it turned out to be one classic album in the year two thousand one one, putting us together despite his living in Korea.


for those unfamiliar to Nick's music it has the lo-fi sentimental feel of ariel pink with a softer ambience accompanied by indistinct vocals.


when i got the album i got stuck on the trackless info in my music player, and i got the idea to name the titles myself, so i named them calling the album originally "Reese Perro"


Nick's thoughts in an email dated 2/9/2010:


"luke,
       Alot of these are really great. It's funny to see someone's interpretation of the lyrics, since I purposely obfuscate them to the point of being left open to interpretation. i'd like to use a few of these over the original titles, but I thought it was particularly funny that you chose to name a song "bleach shirt" that was originally titled "filthy jeans" (weird, right?)

       Also I'm not sure why, but the album art you sent is not appearing


i'm glad you liked it though. we should have a jam sometime in the near future
