Gilbert, Paul Werewolves of Portland

"I was planning to record in the spring of 2020," explains Gilbert. "I had the studio booked, and the musicians ready to rehearse. But suddenly the world locked down, and I had to put everything on hold. It was hard to let go of my passion for recording 'live' in the studio, but as the lockdown dragged on, I began to think about other ways that I could make the record, and still be inspired by the recording process." Gilbert's solution allowed him to express his wide instrumental dexterity by playing all the instruments heard on the album. "It took some time, but it finally occurred to me that I could play all the instruments myself. I've always loved playing drums, and I can play bass and keyboards well enough to get the job done."
