A story odyssey of sorts told in ten parts, ten songs - each track
essentially a character - "Dead Kids...", produced by David Trumfio
(Built To Spill, Wilco, OK Go) and mastered by the legendary Howie
Weinberg (The Cure, Smashing Pumpkins, Nirvana), explores, through a
beguiling mix of personal memory, allegory, and narrative structures by
turns both poetic and stinging, a long and complicated relationship with
a dark version of Portland OR. It's songs that tell of the fractured
and fragile legacies of those lost during the city's last couple decades
as it moves from soggy backwater to unheard of growth and tech-fueled
transformation.
