Those Who Didn’t Run

The two pieces on this new EP both clock in at 10 minutes and are documented in direct fashion, using a handful of mic positions and, as usual, no looping or overdubbing of any sort.

Recorded by Mark Lawson in single takes, no overdubs, loops or edits.

Mastered by Harris Newman.

Those Who Didn’t Run EP is available as a 10″ pressed on heavyweight audiophile vinyl and comes in a screenprinted jacket by Repetitive Press in Montreal, featuring an illustration by Nadia Moss.

Released by Constellation.
More info at Constellation Records.

My saxophones are featured in the trailer to the Arcade Fire’s upcoming short film directed by Spike Jonze!
