about

Released 22 March 2007

Much of this record was composed in the summer of 2004 in a cabin outside of a little town called Onekama (oh-NECK-uh-muh) in northwestern Michigan, just off the shore of Lake Michigan.

This album was loosely inspired by the work of the American Modernist poet Lorine Niedecker (1903-1970).

Lorine spent the majority of her life across Lake Michigan in rural Wisconsin developing a body of work known for deep expressiveness despite it's spare use of language.

The album title "Condensery" comes from a line in one of her poems.
