divided front is the moniker I gave to my music. It came from my inability to find anyone in New York City who would commit to getting together, playing music and forming a band. I thought of a band as a unified front ... so my next thought was that a one-man band is a divided front.

All of the recordings here are what I've come up with in a vacuum. The things that do come together when people collaborate are entirely different. I'm not looking to re-create any of this with a band; I'd like to start something entirely new.

While my lyrics speak for themselves, there are a few things worth disclaiming: it's an incomplete picture. The quality of the tunes is evidence of the poor means I have for recording them (among other inferences you're obviously free to draw, yourself).

There's not a happy song in the lot, so be forewarned, but if you live (or have lived) in New York, you should be able to grasp the sentiment behind a lot of the tunes. And if you've made it this far without being exposed to New York City, bless your little heart and—for your own sake—keep a wide berth.
