about

This is the Jeff Aug solo debut album. Well, there was "Eating Pasta" -- of which there were about 30 cassettes made in 1991 --, but this one is really the official album debut. It was recorded in 1994 to reel-to-reel 8-track (Tascam) in Steve Bruzgalis´s (RIP) basement in College Park, MD. If you listen closely, you can hear the birds chirping outside the basement window on some of the tracks. The album was released in 1995, so this year (2020) we are celebrating the 25th anniversary of this release.
