about

JSSCHRST is a project that Damon Ranger, Joe Nunez, and I originally conceptuallized sometime around 2010 before Joe left to record his final album with the band Soulfly. Due to schedules, etc., we didn't really persue this project, so I just shelved the demos for a few years. Recently, while starting to piece together a different album, I came across some of these old recordings. They had a very similar feel to a hand full of other unheard songs that I have toyed with over the last few years, and a light just went off in my head. Why not create the album that should have been completed so long ago?

I always feel very fortunate to get to work with so many cool people throughout the process of recordings like this. Here are have few specific words about some of the songs:

"YOU LOSE" was an instrumental demo that my good friend Adam Newman sent me. We had talked for years about collaborating, then when I heard this track, I flipped. I layed down a dance beat over the top of his rock drums, added a few synth parts, wrote and recorded vocals, and did a simple mix.

"I WANT BANGS" was a song that somehow just magically happened back when I worked at Answers Media. One day Matthew walked in with a new hair cut, and said the infamous line "cut the back, trim the sides, I want bangs". Because of the way he sad it, It was the funniest thing I'd ever heard. I caught it on video and obviously had to write a song about it.

Thanks for listening. :)
