Talk on the Telephone
This is a tape recorded by my friends and I in high school. This was not our finest hour. Like many suburban boys, we were callous and cruel, and nowhere is that more evident than on this tape of prank calls. The problem is that they’re really, really funny. My friends had the uncanny ability to keep people on the line long after they should have hung up. At one point, my friend...

Cleaning House: Simonnewcomb - Ordays
In 2007 I was giving up on taking a break from Mates and had an idea for an EP. I was thinking in particular about a pretty heady day in my relationship with my (soon to be) wife. I don’t remember what was so singular about that day, but from it I had a concept: four tracks, each exactly twelve minutes long, that would cover the day from each of our perspectives, and then together.

Cleaning House: Simonnewcomb - Kolo Son
The second unfinished EP, which serves as a companion piece to Mates. It follows the same structural framework, but is a touch more aggressive and a little less emotional. As with Mates, I chose the arrangement first. The songs would be arranged and composed via sampler. After Mates and ORDAYS (up next), I had decided to focus on EPs for a while, which seemed to work pretty well. All of the...

Cleaning House: Simonnewcomb - Mates
In 2006 and 2007 I began recording a record called Mates. Anyone that knows me knows that I have a lot of projects that have stalled out at the very end. The songs will be done, the art will be ready, but it just won’t get done. I’ve tried to figure out my inability to complete these records, and have yet to reach a satisfying answer. At this point, the songs are so old that I...
