Start Somewhere by Andrew Yarovenko

This is a record that we did the hard way—five players in a room, an array of great mics and plenty of bleed—and I think it benefits from it. These are pieces I've lived with for a long time, and these recordings are delicate, occasionally intense, and very human. There are small imperfections that make it all the richer, and huge contributions of style, creativity, and taste from Amanda, Desiree, Kiara, and Isaiah, the string players on the album. It's the first thing I've made that I listen back to for pure enjoyment. Thanks to Emerson Sudbury for some exciting and creative electronic contributions. Also, huge shout out to Peter Atkinson who masterminded the recording and mixing of this album, and to Ruairi O'Flaherty who did an incredible job of coalescing the sonic world of a very unusual and diverse collection of songs in mastering.
