about

Whiteheart hangs in the chilly air as if it’s been suspended in outer space. I challenge you, sweet listener, to find the beat. Listen as closely as you wish. There isn’t one. It floats, untethered from the usual, comfy confines of rhythm. This is the song in which I fully embrace and accept that Somewhere South of Sane has nothing at all to do with dropping or relying on beats. In fact, you can even call it my anti-beat record, if you’d like. I didn’t deliberately set out to make a drum-free record, though. It just turns out that the kind of songs I’d been writing over the past three years didn't strike me as calling out for them. Happily, with no drums came a certain peace and simplicity to the recording process of SSOS. Do you know that more microphones are generally used on the drum kit than any other instrument? So much time and effort is usually spent trying to get decent drum sounds, yet those very drum sounds are usually the first thing to give a record a dated aftertaste. (As evidence, please check out almost any record made in the 1980’s!). All that being said, I've loved making and listening to “beat” records, and you need not fret about me staying forever lost on a beat-less sea of acoustic guitars!
