Mustang 09:28
Once upon a time, man made an emblem: Said he had inverted semblance to a tree. All the ones that were looking to Delphi Were the ones who were taken by stealth I must agree. Back when Noah said "I'll build you a boat", he Built a castle and filled up the moat in which to float. With all the will in the world of illusion, You can choose fission or fusion, obviously.

Frogmore 15:49
The light is creeping and up here upon the canyon's weary brow Ocean fog is floating ever closer now Keen coyote and his family decide to call the dawn Skipping deer trips down the gully to his fawn Rattlesnake is winding down because it's time to go to bed Busy puma wants to find some room to rest his head Little birds that sound like spinning toys are fluttering goodbye There's an orange glow somewhere behind the sky The curved horizon seems to make a giant plate out of the sea The smell of morning sage is taking over me Down in the distance I can hear the motorcycles on the road And in the swampy land the singing of the toad And Venus fleeing into blue but somehow following the sun To tell the other worlds that time has just begun And I believe that my perception isn't going to fail me now Upon the canyon's weary brow.

Fluxus 14:20
Sail into the afterglow when the day begins to go To the list of days departed, don't be sad or brokenhearted Leave the clowns to run the show, evolution is always slow We're so glad to let them do it, laughing till we have a fit In our cinema. Afterglow goes duly by like a hoarding in the sky As we join the dear departed never sad or brokenhearted Leaving clowns to run the show, rosy noses all aglow We're so glad to let them do it, laughing till we have a fit In our cinema.

about

This album is named after a cabin I was lucky enough to have in the early 00s in the misty mountains of Malibu, on the property of my good friend Damon Byrd. That structure was itself named after a cabin on the nearby ranch of movie costume designer Tony Duquette.

The title song is a kind of audio diary of the years I owned the cabin.

The album art images were taken early one morning back in 06, with my flip phone, it being the only camera I had at the time. But they represent a typical view and atmosphere of the area.

The first track "Mustang" is named after a Japanese Fender Mustang copy I bought back in 1974, my first electric guitar, which I still own. The main riff of this song is played on the Mustang. The main riff of The Lines’ first single White Night was also played on the Mustang, and this song does share some thematic elements with that earlier opus.

"Fluxus" is the oldest track here, the middle synth section having been executed on a Korg Mono Poly back in 1994. Over the years I gradually added more parts, and the vocal was recently added, inspired by current events.

"Mercury" is the most recent piece. It evolved from another project, "On A Wire", an album composed entirely of guitar sounds, which I plan to release later. For this version I added some drums.
