NOTES:
"Alien Love Secrets"
I was working on Fire Garden (then still tentaively
titled Fire Coma) and knowing that it was going
to be a very detailed and in-depth record, I stopped in the middle and
wrote and recorded Alien Love Secrets in less
than 6 weeks.
The approach was to make it simple with no overdubs, just guitar on a
silver platter, with bass, drums and minimal keyboards to fill out some
sections. The songs were written and recorded without any deep rhyme or
reason but each tune holds a significant aura. It was one of the easiest,
most rewarding records I've made.
Clocking in at a little over 32 minutes, it was released as an EP.
The recording and release of Alien Love Secrets
marked another turning point in my personal evolution. I felt independent
again and immensely happy. I was more concerned with making the record
that I wanted to make and not worry about what some others though I should
be doing. It also marked the beginning of the professional relationship
with my current manager, Ruta Sepetys. She is everything that you would
never expect in the typical music biz manager. She is honest, driven,
sincere, shrewd and compassionate all rolled into a powerful yet unassuming
beautiful blond-haired frame.
