A Blue Arctic is my and Peter Sanfilippo’s third album, and it’s our best yet. I’m very happy with our growth as musicians. I think our tracks are more interesting, varied, and fun. They’re also more listenable. I think our ears have just gotten better at catching things! I’m much better now at not mixing kicks too loudly, and in general we’re much brighter (if anything, I mixed some hats too loudly!).
Writing with Peter is delightfully easy. It’s also very fun. Most of these tracks originated in a challenge to share bare-minimum ideas without holding back. We now have a huge trove to draw from.
Song I’m most proud of: There Will Come Soft Rains, due to Peter’s inspired sampling
Moment I’m most proud of: The arpeggios and toms building together in There Is No Land Any Longer.
Mix I’m most proud of: The Glamour of Evil. I adore the kick.
I hope you enjoy the album. We put a lot of heart into it alongside our anxiety, hope, and melancholy.
