Recorded at the end of winter into spring 2026, this release shows a more rockier side of what I do, especially after the last few releases have been more mellow and introspective. The title track "Boots" came together pretty quickly... I literally started work on it just before the Iran war kicked off. Just as with the acoustic demo I released a few years ago, I suddenly felt an urgency to get this new full band version of "Boots" out. "Initials" seemed like the perfect B-side for it.
