In the summer of 2019, I sent a selection of my song demos to Luna front man Dean Wareham, who connected me with Kramer, the producer and musician whose iconic work includes all three seminal records of Wareham’s first band Galaxie 500. Kramer and I mixed 10 tracks for this album in New York City late that summer, and it was released in October. Its lead single, “Good Start,” was selected by L.A. radio station KCRW for a coveted “Today’s Top Tune” slot on Labor Day 2019.
