"Smashy Claw's 2013 debut record. I'm not super proud of most of this now, but it was a giant leap forward from everything that came before. The first professionally produced all-original studio album.

Despite going to the same high school for four years and being in the same social circles while attending that high school, I didn't properly meet Nathan Long until we graduated. We were at a mutual friend's New Years party when he started playing an original tune on the friend's parent's keyboard. I was intrigued.

Having just quit the whole Odd Austin thing, I was keen to find other musicians to forge something new with. I suggested we get together at my place, which we did the following week. And the rest is even lower-tiered music history than when I met Jace."
