Pat McClimans returned to the studio at the end of 2019 with the goal of allowing expression to come freely and honestly.
“There is no preconception guiding any musical theme,” he said. “In fact, every attempt was made to not force anything to be anything, and I dare say you could listen to these songs wearing anything, or nothing at all.”
That’s not to say that no care or effort was utilized to produce this recording. These four songs are the result of great sessions of forehead furling and computer clicking. Mild discussions were held on an array of modern technological devices.
Pat is backed up by Todd Pidcock on bass, Brian Sussman on drums, Dan Bolton on piano and mellotron, and Raymond Richards on pedal steel.
The downloadable files include all four songs in 320 kbps MP3 format as well as uncompressed master-quality WAV format.
