about

Jeffrey says:
When I started making up songs in the late 90s I would usually make a tape full of songs at least once a year, and then I'd try to sell copies of the tapes at open mic nights and any place I could play. After a few of these annual cassette-albums I started having the opportunity to release stuff on CD, and the opportunity to release stuff through record labels, but I never stopped making up songs and recording them any way possible. It was all from following the example of how Daniel Johnston had done it. All my 20+ years of recording songs I owe to Daniel! RIP!
For whoever might be interested, this is my 2019 tape. Not making physical copies though. Thanks for your support.

Oh Vanille / ova nil
by Diane Cluck

Undiscovered gem of freak-folk, as psychedelic and healthy and disturbing as a gourd. Diane makes music by which to explore the Museum of Natural History by candlelight. Jeffrey Lewis
