Recording Day One > April 16th, 2018
Final Mix > January 26th, 2020
Selected Instruments > Yamaha VSS-200, ZVex Lofi Junky Vexter, Cheap Tourist Djembe, Oberheim Matrix 1000, Cooper FX Generation Loss, Mellotron, Casio SA-5, Yamaha SU10, The Outdoors, Garbage Can Lid, Coles 4038 >

Notes: > Rob: “This song captures virtually everything that I was trying to accomplish, sonically, with our project. I wanted to mix Brazilian forró, the sound of an outdoor carnaval or the outside of a club, African rumba, British psychedelia and lo-fi new wave. I liked the idea of hearing an outdoor event from enough distance until everything sounds like an interesting mush. The blurry part of the photograph is more interesting than the focused bits.” > Rob “I also like the sound of television show themes and children’s songs from the 1970s and early 1980s that were crushed, compressed and destroyed by our mono speaker television sets.” > Some of the drum clatter comes from sound recorded outdoors. There is something about that clatter that you can’t easily replicate artificially. As a result, we had to be a bit John Cage-ian about those moments and let the noise enter as well. > This song was the most difficult to finish. There are at least two complete alternate arrangements. > Some of the beat is inspired by Siri Do Forró’s Baião Do Bambolê. > Rob: “My friend Rachell suggested that I add the sound of a Puerto Rican frog, called a coqui.” >

lyrics

I Am At The Laundry, Imagining You (R.Keith)
April 16th, 2018 - January 26th, 2020

I am at the laundry, imagining you.
What have you been finding?
Are you singing forró songs under painted backdrops?

I daydreamed dancing to your songs.
The spell is there, even though you are gone.

I look across the cattails.
Where have you been?
Music from a car going by, blurring by me.
We’re standing on the flowers.
fossilized fields, fossilized fields

I am at the bodega, imagining you.
