In short:
This past February, I flew to Iceland to record what I thought would be a three song electronic/acoustic ep with my friend and producer, Kurt Uenala. Kurt was part of Jim’s Big Ego back at the turn of the century. Since working with his band, My Favorite Relative, he's been engineering, audio editing, song-writing, programming, composing, mixing and mastering for Moby, Dave Gehan, Depeche Mode, The Kills, Metallica, Erasure, and Black Ryder. He started producing music as null+void before he moved to Iceland. Find him at kurtuenala.com.
I was in Iceland for seven days, six of which were in the studio. In that time, Kurt and I recorded seven songs. We created one remotely with David Wilcox on guitars for an even eight. It was a recording experience unlike I have ever known. We were completely aligned in our process and the album came together almost effortlessly. Utopia Revisited is a collection of songs to accompany my novels The Wakeful Wanderer’s Guide series. Enjoy.
