Ghosts gather now in the old city park They only wait so long then drift off and depart Lost to cycles doomed to repeat walking in dream, far from sleep Ghosts gather now in the old city park Shadows shaken free, gathered in the dark I don't feel cold, beneath the long night moon there's warmth in decay, a slow peace in ruin Ghosts gathered now in the old city park like memories remain near the last of their landmarks for now secure in crumbling relief to enjoy eternity, no matter how brief

Weightless wading in the water Weightless waiting on the whispering wind 99 names in a sound so soft You and I borne aloft on the summer breeze, the rustle of leaves One hundred minus one You and I in the Kingdom of None

about

Released on Vinyl in limited edition of 300 by PIAPTK Recordings.
TO ORDER GO TO www.PIAPTK.COM Available in color swirl ( 250 each record unique) or black (100).

Hindsight 2020 has been LONG in the works. We started working on releasing this in early 2021, when 2020 was barely hindsight. But, the great vinyl bottleneck hit us hard and kept this in limbo for a hot minute.

But now it's here! Limited to 250 Copies on "Pressman's Choice", each one a unique swirl or splatter handmixed by the press operators at Palomino Records, and 100 Black Vinyl LPs. Maybe we will repress the black, and maybe we won't. Who knows? Def not repressing the Pressman's Choice, though.

Tracklisting:
1) Golden Rain
2) Crawling Back To You (Tom Petty)
3) Requiem For Love (Bobbie Gentry and Jody Reynolds)
4) Mother of Earth (The Gun Club)
5) Ghosts Gather Now
6) The Riverbank (Bert Jansch)
7) Clocks and Spoons (John Prine)
8) Kingdom of None
9) October (Jackson C Frank)

Hindsight 2020, a loose collection of five cover tunes and three originals, was recorded at home in the Spring and early summer of the 2020 lockdown, when so many of us were suddenly gifted an inordinate amount of free time. Tours disappeared overnight and deadlines vanished. One could wake and spend the day following whatever whim happened to drift across the mind.
There was no initial intention of these songs coming together for a release like this. I began recording each tune because it seemed a good way to spend the day. This collection is a result of months of days similarly spent. It felt right to place them together as a testament of sorts to that time. Though the instrumentation, style, and even the players vary from song to song, they somehow all partake of those strange days.
