A compilation album consisting of the first three Jugband Goose tracks; 'In the Clouds of Luff', 'Miss Alexander's Rabbit Hole' and 'My Void'. Each track has been reworked, remixed and remastered since all of the originals were horrendously unbalanced and inconsistent.
The two year anniversary single 'Return to the Clouds of Luff' has also been added to this compilation as this record is a collection of all Jugband Goose tracks that have not appeared on an EP or LP.
The debut single from Jugband Goose was recorded over the course of four days in the December of 2017. Its combination of ambient drones, experimental tonality, improvisation and minimalist ideas make for a sonic journey nearly half an hour in length.
Dedicated to a good friend of mine

MISS ALEXANDER'S RABBIT HOLE: (26:54)
Noise, experimentation, field recordings, deliberately awful playing, and soundscapes which were all thrown into a blender and resulted in this 20 minute aural odyssey. With the goal in mind of trying to create what a mind could be like on a psychedelic trip, Jugband Goose delivers one of his most abstract compositions.

MY VOID/ IN MY EMPTINESS: (50:58)
An ambient piece which consists of various instruments being stretched into long droning textures. The overall effect creates a feeling of emptiness as if there should something more to this massive drone piece. It is calming as it is melancholic. This 40 minute composition by Jugband Goose was the project's first steps into the dark ambient sub-genre.
(Due to Bandcamp upload restrictions, this piece has been cut into two sections)

RETURN TO THE CLOUDS OF LUFF: (1:28:53)
This single marks the two year point in my journey of creating ambient music. I have changed a lot since I started (as we all do) and this piece is a reflection and a meditation on those changes and developments.
Return to the Clouds of Luff started off as a project in GarageBand after releasing my first single in 2017. I wrote four lines of music and then never touched it again for over a year and a half as I didn't know how to build upon the opening phrase. Then, with no intention whatsoever, I found this project again in July of this year after I forgot that I even made it.
So this piece acts as a bridge from when I started making music as Jugband Goose to where I am now. It's a look into the past and it is a look into my future and what the unknown will bring.
