Dawn is an archival core sample from an intensely creative period, the winter of 2002/2003 spent alone in a cabin in arctic Norway, wrestling with ghosts, gathering wood, acting out the myths; a kind of “lost album” finally properly recorded on just guitar and singing. It is being released in 2 pretty different forms. This one, a white vinyl LP, is meant to accompany the other, a book of the same name to be published by Buenaventura Press later this year. It comes with a special booklet of scary self portraits done in the dark window reflection in overflowing ink, vaguely corresponding to the overflowing darkness in the 19 songs. They have become known over the past few years at live shows and in other forms but never have they appeared all together like this, sung in the same way they were written, acoustic alone.
