About the record

Notes

Theo wrote these songs with the overhead light off and the cooker light on, so he wouldn’t wake anyone. He kept them that quiet in the studio: one guitar, one voice, a room mic, and Ruth Ainslie on cello for four of them.

Nothing was fixed afterwards. If a chair creaks, it’s on the record.
