QRP 200g audiophile limited pressing. While it's true I did endure a terrible break-up at the beginning of writing this record, this is not a break up record.

"Dagger Beach" is a put-me-the-fuck-back-together record. The break up came in late 2011, after endless months of "White Wilderness" touring.

I returned home to an empty house, and, as that's pretty unbearable when you're not quite right in the head, I decided to set out walking.

I hiked the Lost Coast (36 miles of off-the-grid splendor in Southern Humboldt County), I hiked the entire 150-mile trail system of Pt.

Reyes, I hiked for days, deep, deep in the woods, usually alone. As I walked and walked, listening to records on repeat, I started obsessing about music again.

As the experience changed me, it changed the record. "Dagger Beach" is looser, weirder, and more free because of it.
