Scott Spark sings about shift-work, strategies for outsmarting death, losing your dog, the importance of delusions, wanderlust at Christmastime and life’s variety of fuck-ups, while plinking the keys of anything that has them.

For the past 18 months, he's been recording lots in auditoriums, bedrooms and houseboats. Mixing's been handled by Mr Tucker Martine (Laura Veirs, The Decemberists, Sufjan Stevens, Death Cab for Cutie) in Portland, Oregon.
