Squirrelier Than Earlier Album Release

It's finally here! The first time I wrote about an album of new material was in January of 2013 when I recorded the title track. Two years of turd polishing and now I can unleash it on the public.

One thing that really annoys me is when an eighties band puts out a new album that sounds nothing like they did back in the day. Sure, you expect the sound to evolve, but the essence must be there. I made tremendous effort to create a Vladimir album that sounded like what you would expect it to be.

You'll recognize similar themes, but I'm not a teenager anymore. That said, I guess a midlife crisis is only a few degrees away, am I right?

The thirteen songs are split into two "sides", each under 22 minutes long. This is a hat tip to the days of vinyl and the 46 minute cassette tapes I was so fond of using in the eighties. My hope is that the money I make off the downloads can be used to make physical copies in the near future.

I want to thank my sweet, supportive wife for encouraging this project and offering insights. I dedicate it to the memory of T.V. Silvia and Eric Ericson, both of whom supported this dorky kid with the goofy songs--may their memory be eternal!
