about

This is me trying to make a happy (or at least happier) album, with the help of the Waterhens.

The writing process began on a honeymoon road trip through the west to Big Sur. I wanted to do a nice, domestic album. It didn’t really turn out that way; the darkness always finds a way in.

“With its patient pacing, bittersweet mood, and intimate sound, Waterhens' Ridgeland sounds like a descendant of Bruce Springsteen's Nebraska, except more whimsical than grim. And in the way the music hangs together—not just as a formula or a sound but a gestalt—it also feels like the record right before a band does something truly great.”
-Chicago Reader by Miles Raymer 9/17/09
