Well here it is. About one year in the making, all my Trump songs in one place. Most of these songs were written and recorded quickly, with the blood still boiling from whatever dignity or absurdity had popped up on my newsfeed that day. Certainly, Trump Tower was written in the the rotten dawn, days after Tump’s win. Let’s hope I don’t write any more of these, but I probably will. Thanks to Davin Wood for playing piano on Trump Tower, and thanks to Jonathan Rado, who produced and played on a good number of these (the ones you hear some of thatbeautifultape hiss on mostly) – his tribute to Steve Nieve on “Imperial Bedroom” is particularly inspired. Thanks to Kane Ritchotte and Max Whipple for providing the best rhythm section a boy could ask for and to Jordan Katz, Taylor Plenn and David Ralicke for laying down some sweet horns on “Wilbur Ross” Thanks to Vic Berger for adding some backups to” Sentencing Day” and for usually being the first audience for these tunes. Thanks to Josh Tillman for surprising me with a tear inducing cover of “Trump’s Private Pilot” and for allowing us to include it here… Finally, NO thanks to Paul Simon who didn’t let us include “I Am A Cuck” – you fucker.
I Would be remiss not to mention the artwork for the album. The photo shoot took place in the aforementioned park in the middle of the night. We got egged.
