Unfinished Business by Eric Folkerth
In mid 2025, I shockingly discovered dozens of dusty, archived CD roms, hidden in the back of a closet. This treasure includes irreplaceable tracks from friends now gone, such as Rachel Bissex and Clark Findley.
So, I’ve polished up what I can, retracked some things, and even left in unfixable goofs. This record is my own “Unfinished Business” with myself, my past, dear friends now gone, and even these songs.

This record is dedicated to Clark Findley.
Clark was my coproducer, engineer, studio owner, teacher, and friend. Most everything I know about music production came from our work together at three studios over half a decade. I have regrets that he is no longer here to see these songs loose in the world. But this record is, in part, his unfinished business too, and my gratitude to him is immeasurable and deep.
