Hey Brian, we played a show together way back in 2004-ish in Bakersfield. I just wanted to say that your music has always been in my head and thank you. Glad to see you are still doing it. Maybe we will play again someday.
hey man, great to hear from you!! I’ve often thought back about that bakersfield show - Gigantic Vintage I think? It was really special to me - it was my first time being on the west coast, and there was something magical about it. really glad the music stayed with you, and definitely hope we can play together again sometime! keep in touch, Brian

I fell in love with “The House That Heaven Built” as soon as I heard it. Since then I got a copy of Celebration Rock from Insound, and it’s become one of my favorite albums of the year. I remember feeling like it would be a good idea to do an acoustic cover of a Japandroids song when I first got into their previous album - I think I was going to try “Young Hearts Spark Fire.” I never got around to it and forgot about it until I saw this tweet about imagining Mark Kozelek covering “House That Heaven Built.” It ended up coming out a bit more folk-musicy than I expected, and it’s more upbeat than I imagine Mark Kozelek doing it, but it feels right for me I guess. I hope you guys enjoy it!
