The oldest songs written for this album were "Feigning Interest in Architecture" and "Renter's Insurance" in 2003, when I was 19. The last songs written for it were "We're Gonna Die in This House" and "Food and Water" in 2011, when I was 26. Most of these songs have been played live for more than a decade. It was mastered in 2021. I'm 37. Excited for you to finally hear this thing.

The final version of this album was engineered, mixed, and mastered by Doug Gallo at AGL Sounds in Cherry Hill, NJ with mixing assistance by Mike Parrone. But between 2011 and 2021, Kyle Constantine, Max Goof, Hillary Johnson, Justin Niemiec, and Dan Weiss all recorded, mixed, and tried to make sense of it in various New Jersey and New York City locations, and plenty of those contributions made it onto the finished product.

"Excellent critic illustrates tales of functioning with dysfunction and vice versa with a history of alt-rock guitar, a pretty solid rhythm section, better singers than himself, and much better singers than himself" -Semipop Life...more

Hey you there, do you love Jeffrey Lewis? Do you love Peter Stampfel? Are you intrigued by the notion of music that has spent so many years secretly soaking in laughter and joy that it is now downright psychedelic to look upon? Both Ways is the culmination of a decade's friendship and mutual inspiration, a behemoth of a double album, spectacular, unique. It is a signpost for drifting souls. Listen, laugh, wonder, delight, be made new. And play Orgone Accumulator fucking LOUD. Grain Sparrow

Thoroughly well-crafted collection of anthemic indie punk magic. Chad proved himself once again that he is still one of the best songwriters of his generation. Mejic

I have appreciated your music for over a decade. Even the misses are still base hits. Between collaring with Edan (looooooong time fav), Quelle, and Deca, I never know what to expect but I know it’ll always be a joy to listen to. Thank you for giving us as much music as you can. tavis206
