Civilians (2007)
“After the carnival parade of ‘Tiny Voices’, this band of brothers, as well as the songs that were arriving, invited an acoustic-driven, visceral intimacy I found not limiting but wholly liberating; intentional.” - JH
Blood from Stars (2009)
“I was listening to a lot of country-blues music at the time, and likewise was revisiting the poems of e. e. cummings; and I was fascinated by what I feel connects the two –– and I can hear the songs on this particular collection as walking a tightrope between them.” - JH
Invisible Hour (2014)
“I wanted instead to let the songs stand in the full light of their afternoon; didn’t want to create the impression that any production concept stood between a song and its receiver. It was the single direction I offered engineer Ryan Freeland: that he was free and encouraged to let as much of that available light into the picture as possible, obscuring nothing.” - JH
“With this new reissue series, I find there’s something unexpectedly compelling to me about revisiting this particular trio of albums as, together, these volumes represent my sort of ‘coming-of-age’ as a record maker, in that I stopped observing any border between a song’s composition and its studio articulation. It all became a single impulse for me...conjured into fruition right there in my basement.”
