Somebody wrote this in some paper somewhere: 'After one too many bands, Berlin returns to an earlier, more innocent format (piano/voice). Simple, skeletal portraiture. The Song Itself - unadorned. As true as a torn pocket. As confused as a kid stuck in jail. As sad as a beautiful girl alone on a park bench, her heart + loss a thousand miles away. Absurd as a leering drunk with a beer gut, or a drive past midnight to nowhere. Berlin creates a world, a town, a topography that seems as familiar as it is unusual. If Van Gogh was alive + wrote songs, they might sound like this record. He recorded 30 plus tunes at the Hi+Dry loft in Cambridge, MA, playing Mark Sandman's (big low end) acoustic piano. Billy Conway produced. Tom Dube engineered. PS.
