“There are things that you can’t see about yourself.

They’re like secrets only someone else can tell.

The way at night you leave the lights on in the house.

People passing by see in, you can’t see out.”

— from Paper Angels

What a strange little album this is of spruced-up demos & dressed-down anthems. I made most of it alone in my bedroom studio. Everyone else who contributed was in someone’s home too, usually with permission. Thanks to them for giving a social life to these very domestic recordings.
