A (mostly) acoustic album recorded in no time at all with my good friend Peter Chilvers and released on groundbreaking internet record label Burning Shed. It features early versions of some of stuff that eventually ended up on Scars, and some stuff that got no further than this. It also features Peter playing an electric guitar that was played on a No. 1 hit single.
"Goodwin's burnished blend of downbeat domestic poetry and cracked, acoustic beauty, calls to mind the West Coast 'sadcore' of Red House Painters, American Music Club and Idaho, while never losing sight of its uniquely personal and British origins. Recorded in a day with minimum fuss and few overdubs, the album also features cameo appearances from Peter Chilvers and Sandra O'Neill (Alias Grace). Paul Goodwin's impressive Burning Shed debut offers late night sounds par excellence." - Burning Shed
