FOON: This is the first song of my song cycle, The Mes, The Mys, and The Swimming Pool. After hammering out some lyrics, I dashed over to Hut 10, and Mark and I recorded this song at 2 in the morning. We stayed up till 4 making more beats – if you are in Calgary for the High Performance Rodeo in January, come see my song cycle at the Midway. Otherwise, catch it as the opening act for Woodpigeon’s CD release.

• FOONYAP - Intro

Late last night, I wandered from the studio after recording FOONYAP’s amazing ‘Me + You’ and stopped in my tracks, encircled by elk. They grazed and I watched, both of us calm, eventually parting ways — me towards bed, and them down the road down into Banff township. I’m sure the animals here think these surroundings are just as beautiful as we do.
