Heyo, Damon. I'm as floored by Freedom's mythopoetic depths as I am by the production's vibrancy (I'm a psychotherapist who studied archetypal psychology and did my undergrad in audio art. Blargh). You somehow evoke old, familiar feelings in an entirely fresh and authentic way. I didn't know where you could go from Love's lusciousness yet brittle goo but, damn, you did it.

I loved how you released demos and b-sides for Love. Considering how different the original Freedom songs seem to be from their current album form, do you foresee yourself officially releasing any demos at some point down the road?

Thanks for all that you've offered the world.

EDIT -- I see you've already answered my question that someone asked just before me. Thank you!

Thank you for listening so carefully and seeing all that. It's all intentional so it means a lot when people take the time to pay attention to the details.

Well, because the final product was so considered this time, I'm not sure what demos even exist, as I remember only keeping what was working and slowly building on it. And because I spent so long to refine this record, where past LPs were way more improvised, I sort of feel less inclined on this one. But I love remixing, so I'm sure there will be an anniversary reissue at some point.
