city: New YorkRecorded in many different bedrooms as Sophia and I traveled around the country in 2022. Among them my old apartment in Bed Stuy, my mom’s house in St Cloud, Minnesota, Annie and Tim Heymans’ basement in St Joseph, Minnesota, my sister Margaret’s house in Denver, Babe Ranch in Taos, my brother Matt and sister in law Julie’s house in Dallas, Campo los Pulpos in Baja California, a random motel in Idaho (can’t remember the town), my brother Frank and sister in law Jen’s house in Montana, and finally finished at my apartment in Ridgewood.
All Songs written by Paul Michael Raphael Spring except Track 12 “Fairy Fountain” which was written by Koji Kondo for The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time.
Thanks to Sophia Heymans for her unending creativity and support. Thanks to Chloe Heymans for her medieval madness playlist. Thanks to Dan Lowery for those remote Irish Flute lessons. Thanks to Annie and Tim, Chloe and Carlo, Danny and Leah, Joseph Cochran, Chi Osse, Ajani Brooks, Ketia Jeune, Cooper Lund, Liana Sanders, Abigail Paulson, Russell Nygard, Elijah Wolf and Josh Montazeri for listening to the record in early stages and giving me thoughtful feedback. Thanks to all the folks who hosted us this past year as we drove around the country. These friends and family gave us warmth, shelter and art making space in between BLM campsites: Annie and Tim Heymans, Rosamond Spring and Arthur Spring, Margaret Spring and Chris Baker, Celeste Miles, Matthew and Julie Spring, Martha Heymans and Anthony Gustin, Campo Los Pulpos, Joe Harrison and Jackie Pete Zahut, Danny Vitali and Leah Fritts, and Frank and Jen Spring. Couldn’t have made this record without all of your Xenia and Generosity.
