about

I recorded this some time in April in Starkville, Mississippi. A friend was stuck in New York due to Covid lockdown, so he let me hang out in his quiet, empty apartment and use his Tascam 424 MK III and fancy bi-directional ribbon mic to make some warm scratchy tape recordings. I have named this piece Staticburn Session in honor of his analogue recording equipment.

This is a single take recording of improvised stuff, which I have retrospectively divided into tracks. But I recorded it as just one big long thing. It is a nice artifact of a bad time.

There are some mistakes, but that's only because I made some mistakes.

Take Me Somewhere Nicer Than Here
by Jack the Giant Killer

supported by 5 fans who also own “Staticburn Session”

I think the new album captured exactly what you guys were going for. I think it's both beautiful and hauntingly melancholy in a profound way. It has the sounds and feeling of living here with that weird pull of wanting to leave. I've lived in Memphis my whole life, but never really fit in or had a lot of friends. I've always wanted to leave and have longed for some other place that was, well, just not here. It's exactly what I needed to hear right now. I hope someday soon to leave myself.
