about

Entire album in one take. There's no real reason to do it this way, but it was really fun. I cut out (most of) the pedal clicks.

Me recording it live: youtu.be/sJZlaYgvXes?si=_XgkNc_IfPtCYECL

Merry Christmas everyone. It's been a long time. Have yourself a merry little Christmas takes on a new meaning these days, as I'm sure it does for many of you also. Sending love.

It's just me. Traditional carols. Really should give credit to Leo Fender because there's no way a single guitar should sound like that. Buy old G&L's, guys.

about

Karl Verkade Los Angeles, California

Ambient guitar and vocal soundscapes, dystopian and otherwise. More love than noise. And you are pretty much my favorite person for being here right now.
