My favorite track from these sessions, and pretty much the reason why I decided to keep these reverb tracks that I unintentionally recorded.

Title: Walk Around (reverb track)
Artist: Noggin
Album: Reverb City
Date: 2010

This one grew out of a desire to roll tape, roll out reverb, and roll up… Kind of came out of nowhere, originally a beat I was working on for Karl, I believe, which likely might have been a beat I was originally working on in Oklahoma with Smile T. These things get mixed around sometimes in the heat of it all. If you don’t know the story by now, I recorded 4 tracks…two dry aux tracks and two reverb returns (stereo), only to find out that I didn’t really know how to use this new tape machine, and so only the reverb tracks got recorded. Still makes for some interesting listening.

Title: Afternoon (With My Sweettea) (aka dverb)
Artist: Noggin
Album: Reverb City
Release Date: 2010

This one came out of the Sunnybrook garage during the Sober October sessions. I had just picked up a Lexicon LXP-1 reverb for almost nothing in Galveston, and this was the first bit of signal I sent through it (I’m noticing a trend in my work lately where I try to/accidentally commit to tape ‘firsts’). Is somewhat of a remix of a nylon-guitar based tune you will hear from later.
Thanks Chuck for the much better title.

Recording doesn’t always go as planned. I sat down one night, recorded hours worth of stuff, only to listen to it the next day and realise I had somehow only managed to record the reverb sends to tape.
This is one of those tracks…I still kind of like them.
