“We moved to San Jose, CA, in the fall of ’09, and then it took me a minute to write a new batch of songs and adjust to the big move. I wanted to do an album on analog tape, and this was the one I tried it on. I did it in San Francisco at a place called Tiny Telephone. I made the basic tracks with a drummer and bassist I was playing with in the bay area. But then did most of the overdubs and layers by myself. I’m proud of the songs on it, but it was kind of a lonely one to make.”David

The Buzz

“Brookings has got some serious power-pop chops, and those come through loud and clear on the agile melodic moves of the tongue-in-cheek ode to an unappreciated artiste (“The Greatest Songwriter No One Ever Heard”) and the peppy handclap-punctuated opener “If I Don’t Make It Back.” But he sounds equally comfortable on the casually country-tinged stroll of “Always Be the Same” and the slow-rolling poignantly piano-laced “I’ve Got No Game Now,” indicating that there’s more than one possible path through The Maze” –  iTunes Review
