Good Morning, Africa
(w/Andrew Kenower)

Valentin Feron of Bookmaker Records in Paris contacted me about releasing an Odawas record. What I offered was a solo album and another collaboration with Andrew Kenower. It was an attempt to capture the dippy environmentalism of 70s albums by The Beach Boys mixed with The Caretaker style found art hodgepodge. Andrew provided field recordings and artistic direction, which was weaved with samples, songs, and synthesizers into a sloppy bisque.

Tracklist:

1. Who’ll Stop The Rain

2. The Last Canadian King

3. Wind Across the Everglades

4. The Splendor of India’s Royal Courts

5. The Polo Grounds

6. The Third Mainline Bridge

7. Myanmar 

8. The Other Moonbeam
