Canyon by Alec Estes
Right before I popped off to Ireland I went into the studio with Ben. I'd been bothering him about doing these solo songs with one effect pedal (E.H. Canyon). The whole session was about four hours. I knocked out three takes for each song. We then decided which was best.
SevWa turned out to be the most challenging for no reason. We spliced two of the takes together for that one. Naturally it became the first track on the album.
There are mistakes here and there, but that live feel was our intent. Perfect for slower times. Take a step. You're in the Canyon.

Whether releasing instrumental or vocal music, Alec always has something going on.
That restlessness was seen in his previous band High Turnover and before that Alec Elliot.
Someday he will put on a festival that William Tyler, Earth, Marisa Anderson, Margo Price, Jake Xeres Fussell, Mary Lattimore, Nels Cline, Luke Schneider, and Bog Ore will play at.
