After living in big cities (Northern Virginia and Los Angeles) for two years, I was sick of concrete and traffic, and wanted to move to a smaller town. I also missed the playful and enlightening moments of college life, and decided to apply to graduate school.

Meanwhile, I was breaking up with my girlfriend (boo), making new friends (yay), getting bored with those new friends (boo), and finishing the most difficult Tripecac album to date, Where's My Muse (yay).

The Trex recordings from this period are full of emotion: frustration, impishness, reflection, humor, wistfulness, hyperness, despondency, etc. These songs are the "soundtracks" to my ups and downs during that time.
