about

In 2016, Tom Carter, Barry Weisblat, and Michael Evans went to Black Dirt Studios and improvised most of the recordings featured here (you can check out more of them on the subscriber-only releases Name Without a Number and Number Without a Name). Over the next year or so, Tom added his own overdubs, along with vocals/ upright bass by Sonia Flores and harmonium (plus ghostly off-mic vox) by Sarah Ruth.
