简介

This EP is a collection of certain finishable tracks from a group of songs written after the "Minutes to Manifest Destiny" batch. They each represent a different stage in my decision to move from Massachusetts back to New Mexico to finish my undergraduate degree. During the year following that decision, I drove my spry 1990 Honda Accord from Cambridge through Chicago to Santa Fe with a trailer unadvisably hitched to the back, and then from Santa Fe to San Francisco and back. The whole adventure fittingly piggy-backed on the ideas explored in "Minutes to Manifest Destiny," channeling the first words on that album--"Coast to coast"--from a telephonic notion of distance into an actual accomplishment. I'd gone from the Atlantic to the Pacific. I'd manifested some sort of destiny. So I've called it "Lewis & Clark." It felt right. Recording and arrangement began as I finished "Minutes to Manifest Destiny," before I moved back to the Boston area and roped friends into our current full-band outing, so we've taken things half-way: That stunted effort has been wrapped up as a group filling out the one-man-band project Marconi was originally. So consider these songs an epilogue to the full-length, a prelude to what we we might sound like when I'm not left to my own devices, a palate-cleanser-slash-appetizer before our most recent (currently, as we speak!) efforts come to fruition. It takes a long time to catch up and we're all excited to be getting there. Hopefully, you'll enjoy this offering while we're prepping the next course. - Luke Kirkland .......................................................................................... Luke Kirkland played instruments and sang. James Towlson sang background vocals on all songs and played bass on "If Less Is More." Robert Peckham played some kind of keyboard on every song. Jason Perry played lead guitar on "The Art of Memory," "Sleight of Hand," "Lewis & Clark," and "If Less Is More." Jeffrey Walsh joined the squad mid-process, so he got shafted. But we did all clap and stomp together for "Lewis & Clark" and "If Less Is More." So there's that. Lastly, on the cameo tip, Caroline Golden sang background vocals on "Lewis & Clark" like a champ. .......................................................................................... recorded and mixed by Luke Kirkland with additional engineering by James Towlson and Robert Peckham artwork by Luke Kirkland mastered by Scott Craggs at Old Colony Mastering ..........................................................................................
