about

"60s-70s hippie alt spirituals" — Chris Ludvik

Seven old songs (2012-2014), sculpted and polished across the intervening years, plus a couple of newer ones (2018-2021) and one immortal cover (197x?).

Recorded at home in Xiamen, mostly between February and April 2021.

Lyrics and liner notes are in a PDF packaged with the album download.

Dedicated to Ragnar Zolberg and Richard Laviolette.

All songs by Sigismund Ashlay Sludig except A1, Antonia's words set by her and Peter Stampfel to a traditional melody, and B3 and B5, by Sigismund and Matt Reese.

Mastered by the Sorcerer of South Portland, Caleb Mulkerin himself.

The sketch in the album cover is by Huang Mengxuan, as photographed by Sigismund.
