liner notes:
recorded in the summer of 2006 during a period of near total isolation, left temporarily immobile and less temporarily unsociable due to a back injury in a then unshared basement apartment, another evening primrose was born of a hard drive malfunction. entering his bedroom recording studio with the intention of returning to a set of demos recorded over the past year and a half to clean up some of the rough edges and prepare the songs for distribution, quidnunk found the original recordings had disappeared from his computer.
left only with a cd-r containing rough mixes of those demos, quidnunk set out to reconstruct the album that would become another evening primrose, inserting electric guitars and additional textures into what had been an entirely acoustic album and realizing in the process that a song intended for his next album, “elsinore”, was actually a much better fit for this group of songs. the resulting album towered above the shadow of its lost ancestor and remains one of the better arguments for running a windows based machine.
with only 50 cds in existense, distributed to friends and other interested parties in mid-late 2006, this digital only re-release marks the first time another evening primrose is being made available to a wider audience.
