WHAT WE SAY:

Just before 2020 disappears into the history books, let Nicholas Krgovich put his arm around your shoulder, & with soothing optimistic tones & the softest of pop buoyed by a gentle Americana twang, say well done for making it through the year, stay strong during the winter & hold tight for Spring & the better days ahead.

WHAT THE RELEASE NOTES SAY:

“Pasadena Afternoon” was recorded this past February, in a day, for fun. The previous summer there was a NK show booked at Zebulon opening for Chris Cohen and after doing multiple solo tours I was excited by the idea of throwing together a pick-up band for this one. So I roped in my Dear Nora bandmates Zach Burba and Greg Campanile to play bass and drums and Aaron Olson from LA Takedown to play guitar and we learned a bunch of songs written by our friends. We learned two by Lake, a Chris Cohen one, two by Dear Nora, one by Little Wings, one by Ruth Garbus and a couple Canadian ones from Veda Hille and Marker Starling. The show felt so good and our interpretations of the songs were so fun to play that we ended up reconvening half a year later and recorded everything. The next day we went to Disneyland.

I’m so glad we made this thing! It feels good to celebrate the work of your friends, and to make something so easy breezy. Hope you like it!
