Portrait - EP by Polite Fiction

This is my first foray into a fully produced, studio project. It was more challenging and more work than I EVER anticipated, even though I'd done previous tracks with a large number of instruments on them. All in all, to find my sound and go through several songs that weren't up to par, this took about a year to complete. Glad to be finally done with it!

I wanted to do an album with fun, accessible, upbeat tunes that made you want to smile, bob your head, and sing along.

Everything you hear was written, performed, and recorded right here in my bedroom by myself, with a few small exceptions here and there, like getting some guitar parts re-amped with the DI signal shipped out to some production houses. Living in an apartment does have its disadvantages, like not being able to crank an amp up loud.

The follow up to this EP (another 5 track EP) is expected in about 9 months, so stay tuned for more!


Thanks:

Kickstarter folks - for being patient while I complete this

Tony, Justin, Roo, and Jordan - for providing me your invaluable support and letting me run songs in progress by you for your opinions.

Blake E. - for being patient and professional with me during the mixing process, despite my particular nature and constantly apologizing for changes

Ralarare, Neo, and Teko - For helping with graphics!

Steven - For deets

Steve F. - For the Kickstarter video and help on all my video projects

and finally,

All the loyal fans who've stuck by me all this time. Your support and the fact that you get excited to listen to my stuff really means the world to me. I wish I could express that better.

One dude in California decided he wanted to make music that got you up out of your chair and dancing. This is the result. He writes every single part. It's hard. Cookies are delicious. Pineapples are not.
