About this:

I'd been thinking about doing a few Gardes albums with Aaron Cord at some point, bringing in a female singer to switch up some of the ingredients, and it sounded like a plan.   I wrote several songs and began singing them with Victoria Pickle, who once performed on stage with me as "Peanut", playing a Planters can, which, by the way, makes for a great percussion instrument.  Soon, we had enough for an album's worth and she and I were in a cottage in Hawaii, originally built for the purpose of being a recording studio, as yet unused- so with a click of a button, we began recording on Pickle's sister's laptop.  This was intended to be done within a few days just to reflect the duo performance we'd given lately, so we were going to call it Make Out The Sound.  However, next, we met with Aaron in Portland, who immediately got the itch to throw down bass, percussion, etc. and soon it was decided to be the Gardes, and the album was entitled Make Out The Sound.  Now, the Gardes has shapeshifted once again.  It's a monster I can't really control.  Hope you can make it out.
