about

Produced by David P.
Recorded at Port William Sound (Mountain Grove, ON) by Jonas Bonnetta
Released by Dirty Clothes Recs.
The title of this album is a reference to the book Critique of Everyday Life by Henri Lefebvre.

In September 2021 I spent a weekend recording and producing a new album at Port William Sound with Jonas B. It was my first time at the studio and working with Jonas. I had come with 8 songs all written and ready to go. On the first day my plan was to open with an improvised session on a few different instruments. This is a practice I've learned about through artists like Adrienne Lenker and Sunn O, and I really like the idea of using improvisation as a chance to warm up for working on other stuff, and then those warm ups end up becoming release-worthy takes.

The songs on this album are very influenced by Daniel Bachman's Axacan (Three Lobed Recordings, 2021). Two of the song titles - Grief and Climate Anxiety - are a nod to his dark but uplifting album that is comprised mainly of solo guitar takes and field recordings.

Many of the ideas running through my head at Port William Sound were buoyed along and deepened thanks to the above mentioned book by Henri Lefebvre. Marxism, alienation, fetishism of money, and climate crisis are all foundational concepts that have grounded my art practice in the last year and beyond.

Thanks to Jeff Sinibaldi for allowing the use of his field recording that is heard in Improvisation number 8.
