"Common Wealth" by Bird By Snow • LP/CD • 2011
This is my 4th long-player, and my only release that I did not record myself at home. It was indeed produced by the magnetic Tim Green (on tape) at Louder Studios in San Francisco. Tim has recorded a few of my favorite records, like Ancestral Songs by Daniel Higgs, and Diadem of 12 Stars by Wolves in the Throne Room, and he's worked with countless other amazing artists. it was a great joy to record with him. Spencer Owen and I took full advantage of the 24-track studio and birthed a wilderness of songs, a new ecosystem of lush arrangements. This album explores moments where friendship, the wild, love, ancient practice, community, and the broader literatures of the present moment make the heat haze of separation look less convincing. And on an even simpler level, this album is about feeling the good flow.
