about

(original blurb)

This is the acoustic album. That was the intent, anyway. The real marked change from my other basement recordings up to this point is that this was recorded on a laptop. Sometimes there's this glitchy clicking sound, but what can you do. This was recorded in June 2008, and I took the cover picture. That hill is behind my house.

Random facts: the least number of songs per album for me so far. However, its only the second shortest album, and has the fourth, third, and first longest songs, as well as the longest instrumental, and most instrumentals (three!). No keyboards were used, let alone harmed, in the making of this album. Its pretty much voice and guitar, mostly acoustic.

Wireless Internet Radiation Poisoning
by Marco Polio

They are some great anthems. Probably the most 'fun' sounding Marco Polio record. Hope my sloppy guitar work doesn't ruin it for you (Matt gave me free rein on his albums for a spell...) Peter House

Primer for the all-acoustic folk metal band I play in now. I don't play on any of these recordings fwiw, but we are playing and even writing together now. Peter House
