Heartbreak School (Explicit)
This album is a special blend of happenstance and circumcision. It's based on original live takes by Linus, mixed with unicorn-meets-rainbows magic of Dan Tressler's guitar, bass, fiddle, clapping, and whistling, and just the right amount of studio production. You got funky gems, backwards overdubs, funny cuts, a few off-key moments of grandeur, and some chatter from Linus's 6-year-old son. Sh*t, there's even some iPhone feedback on one of the tracks. But the overall feeling and sound is undeniably barn-like, and that's the whole idea. Come on upstairs, watch your head, and have a listen.
