The Legend of the Backpack Man

Bottle Boys

Oh! We tell the tale of the Backpack Man
As he wanders over distant land
Looking far and looking wide
For toys and things to zip inside
He loves them all, the old and new
Watch out, for he might choose you!

started making an ambient record, accidentally spilled drums everywhere

All musical instruments were recorded at Jake's house in State College, PA '21-'23 (with a tiny bit from '19). Using either a field recorder or, in the case of the drums, a distant phone, these were each recorded independently, without reference to the others. The field recordings were taken '16-'23 in the State College/Penn State area, New Hampshire/Frogwood Manor, Brooklyn/Manhattan, and most recently, MycoFest 2023 in Centre Hall, PA. All of these components were blended together as a sound collage to bring you this mini album.
