1.
it's a song for all my relations, about ancestors and how we can never go backwards, or it's about my grandfather, or it's about your father but probably about someone's mother.
2.
it's a song for residential school survivors and the relationships that got capsized by the wake of that flood.
3.
someone once called me from that phone in the middle of arizona and told me they shouted my name standing high above the desert. years later i thought i'd base a song on those star crossed lovers missing their connection.
4.
Oo De Lally 01:17
the genius of roger miller, coolest rooster on the big screen.
5.
rarely performed but this one night at raw sugar we found a sweet spot. i miss nadia's raw sugar.
6.
demo for a song about addiction and salvation for the difficult third album that got derailed by death, mental health, so instead my focus turned to raising a brave child.
7.
one year we attended 13 or 14 funerals in the span of like 8 months. it was one of the strangest and most struggling times at the time. little did i know shit could and would get worse. i wrote this about those who got down low.
8.
demo version of my favourite RHUME track. for JB always.  i always loved the greasy tongues.
9.
that time i dismantled jake's perfect pop song.
10.
after a few years of turbulence i was certain god was nowhere on the plane. 
11.
a love song for the barflies where i used to buzz buzz around until diabetes saved my life.
12.
a song written in practice with scott terry, the original dreamcatcher.
13.
for the girl from fitzroy always and forever. later appeared in different form on werbo's welcome to japan cd.
14.
a song about dissection, separation, ventilation and disconnection.
15.
Chips (In E) 02:37
they'll steal the hat and eat the chips but not your guitar.

about

flecton big sky is a wondrous, weird, mystical being.
i mostly just know him as my uncle, but other people have said things akin to that. there were times he was my asshole uncle, times he was my cool uncle, and times he was my barely hanging on by a thread uncle. all of them are together on this collection, and how surprisingly warm it is to hear them hanging out in one place.

there are moments in these recordings where things were falling into place, and moments where things were falling apart.
there are moments of beauty, moments of struggle, moments of spontaneity, and many moments he probably doesn’t remember.

but in all these moments, the clouds crack.
and you catch a glimpse through
to flecton’s big sky.
and it’s oh so blue.

i’m honoured to present Dreams My Brain Left Out: 1996-2016, a collection of live cuts, unreleased demos, and studio tracks from the mystical man we know as flecton big sky.
