'I Am Nemo', on the other hand, has a strong nautical theme, not only lyrically, but also in the feel of the recording. The majority of the album was recorded in November 2007 solely through a camera microphone, giving the songs an echoey, distanced, underwater feel. The videos for these 8 songs are now on the Pete and Frank YouTube channel (below), with Pete giving some of his best understated performances. The album's final songs are some past Pete and Frank favorites, and finish out the last of the computer-based sessions - everything else that remains now is from the huge pile of 4-track and cassette tape recordings.
This completes the major run of our best group recordings: 6 Pete and Frank albums, 6 Repeating Frank albums, and 6 Summer Gets Electric albums. It's been a strange and interesting (and fun) ride... who knows what the future will hold. There's still 5 or so more releases we'd like to create someday, and in the meantime, there's some more surprises on the way, starting next month. Dig in, and stay tuned...
