about

i broke up the band in october of 2009.
in the summer of 2011 brandon and i got together and slowly started writing some new tfa songs (none of which are on this). it was decided at some point that we should, for fun i guess, get everyone who was available to come out for a day and record. the catch was that nothing would be pre-written. so on october 8th 2011 this ep (which we will designate it as such despite it being as long as our "proper" records) was written (we'll use that term loosely, it was almost entirely improvised) and recorded. after that day in october andy took the raw session tapes and spent 9 months editing, mixing, and having various overdubs recorded.
this is the result, the sound of the band cleaning off the cobwebs.

all of it recorded on tim's computer (as well as a little bit on cassette 4-track) at boxfortknox, sycamore illinois. these sessions were then mixed/edited by andy on his computer (and probably a cassette 4-track at some point) down at the thousand year picnic.

about

things falling apart De Kalb, Illinois

the sound of old tube amps humming like angels, buzzing helicopter tremolo dancing with rickety strings, drifting analog delay, and antiquated brass bursts of joy.

Lonesome Flotsam
by Fingers Lift

brandon from tfa made this record under his "fingers lift" moniker. a lovely pastoral collection of ghost songs that will leave you humming the tunes despite their lovecraftian origins. things falling apart

Ohm
by This Specific Dream

our wisconsin bretheren, sadly no more. this was their second album, a behemoth and an epic slab of cranked tube-amps and the greatest riffs to come out the midwest in a long, long time. truly fine. things falling apart

LSD & Heartache
by The Falbonauts

the best album by a cover band that isn't a cover band. glorious, fractured pop/rock that isn't so much from a different time but a different space. things falling apart
