Lean, fresh circular sound.

"Right... Banjo or Freak Out was born after spending a night waiting for my girlfriend in a flat in Hackney, London. She was working and I was in this place with other people I didn't want to talk to so i turned on my girlfriend’s computer and started to mess around with a music program.

"The first song I 'wrote' was called 'Freak Out', the second Jim O'Rourke' but it's probably better if you don't hear them.

"From here I started to see making music with computer was something really different. You can dick around with a stupid sound for ages. It's great!

"I work with one rule, a bitch of a rule, my rule is to record every track just one time. No second chance. But I can adjust things by changing the sounds with my cheap mac software. Lots of fun. You should try it.

"It took me a while to put these songs on MySpace because my focus was on my other band but they did finally make it here. Enjoy the songs. There are a lot more."

'so you want to stay?' 'yes, i do. there are possibilities here. we ought to explore them.'
