during the early months of the pandemic. The first moment of derealization as a young man; a rambunctious tale of arson in the shadow of a bigger fight with a dear friend; escaping the mire of one’s self esteem; and finally a moment (or two) of quiet acceptance. Though seemingly disparate, the coalescence of all of these began to paint a clearer picture. The title is completely rhetorical, a kind of matter of fact reckoning with the person you were always going to become and the peace that can finally settle when you stop fighting it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe record was written at home and recorded at Shirk Studios in Chicago, IL. It was engineered, mixed and co-produced by Stephen Shirk, with some serious heavy lifting on behalf of Sam Subar, a brilliant young drummer who helped breathe so much life into these songs where I couldn’t. I demoed and\/or got as far as mixing on two other albums prior to this one but couldn’t find my way in to the songs anymore. Some were too old, some just belonged more to a younger version of myself that I no longer relate to, some just weren’t good enough for me. But something magical and strange happened when I gave myself permission to throw away all those songs and the music that became this record was able to live and breathe freely.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tralbumData tralbum-about\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"credits-label\"\u003eCredits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tralbumData tralbum-credits\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ereleased December 1, 2023\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAll songs written and produced by Jake Hawrylak\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEngineered, mixed, and co-produced by Stephen Shirk at Shirk Studios Chicago, IL\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMastered by Anthony Gravino at High Cross Sound Urbana, IL USA\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePhotos by Cory DeWald\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesign and Layout by Bryan Kveton\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSam Genualdi - lap steel on 1, 2, 3, 6 and 7\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSam Subar - drums and percussion on 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, and 10\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaul Grill - drums and percussion on 6\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIvan Pyzow - trumpet on 3, 6, and 7\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMolly Rife - cello on 1 and 10\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReno Cruz - banjo on 6\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChuck Bontrager - violin on 10\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJessica DeArcangelis - additional vocals on 10\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJosh Jessen - synths on 5\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSebastian Espeset - ambient assistance on 5\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJake Hawrylak - all other instruments\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEndless thank you and gratitude to Stephen Shirk for giving this music the depth it deserves; to all the performers for breathing new life into these old rooms; to my parents and brother for all the love, support, patience and kindness; to Sebastian Espeset for holding my feet to the flames and being the A team; to Jessica DeArcangelis for being such a force for light and love and encouraging me when I couldn’t.
