about

Jordan Krinsky turned inward during his time away from gigging in 2020, writing a quiet collection of personal songs before really knowing what to do with them. To bring the songs to life he assembled a varied cast of seasoned DIY musicians from the Portland scene and set them loose on his songs, first playing them out at a few gigs before tracking them with Vin Christopher on the knobs. The resulting Self-Titled EP is a perfect mixture of the introspective space Krinsky was in while writing the songs and the energy and excitement that came along with bringing the songs to life surrounded by friends and supporters. Its a beautiful combination that glimmers and sparks.

Some catchy tracks on here, and my guy is not afraid to rip a guitar solo. Sounds like Daniel Johnston country at times, and the album cover looks like a hip-hop record. Cidimon Arustavi

Dammit every track makes me smile. How did you do that? If a friend recommends this album to you, hang on to them because they're just as fabulously messed up as you are. I'd like to thank my bank for allowing me to buy things online again. Thank you. Everyone. Thanks. duskbringer
