about

Sometime in April of 2013, during short breaks from The Shins’ “Port of Morrow” tour, Richard Swift and I decided we’d start a music project together. We named it Teardrops after the song “Secret Teardrops” by Martin Rev, who we were both huge fans of. Over the course of the next couple years we would get together when we had down time, throwing ideas together urgently, if a bit haphazardly. There was an easy electricity between us when we worked. We had each other’s trust. Hours would pass with a single loop repeating over and over while palo santo sticks burned nearby. Sometimes we’d take breaks in the sunshine while our music played in the background. We’d smile at each other wondering what it was we were making—the answer never being that important. It just felt good and right. It was a vibe. We had aspirations of getting vocalists to sing on these tracks, or maybe it was a vocoder we’d use, or maybe... We just never got around to it.

I’m happy to finally release this into the world knowing Swift was happy with these mixes as they are. Our working titles remain unchanged, and the album is sequenced alphabetically just as it was in our shared folder. I hope you can feel what we felt when we made this stuff.

Long live Teardrops.
