about

The recording session for this album took place over a decade ago. The results then fell promptly into a deep gravity well; an almost insurmountable time warp. The record emerges now, at long last, bruised from the journey, but stronger and more vital; burnished by its travails; with renewed hunger. This is a snapshot of the year 2011, a time capsule, if you will. The Navigator represents the paths we cut for ourselves back in those days. Some of us follow them still, while others have been transformed. Turn your ear to the music. Can you hear your own footfalls lost to time? Can you hear the sounds of the leaves under foot that you left behind? Did you emerge from the woods during those times, or are you there still?

The beginning of the second decade of the aughts was a productive time here at the Rattle Tick Buzz Global HQ. We saw the release of “This Machine Will Not Rest” by the Ten Sleeps Trio, and the eponymous “Post Consumer Gnarl” both of which deserve another listen. It was a heady time of eager, propulsive, prodigious collaborations. It all felt like a big step in the right direction. Certainly it was, but one wonders some 12 years later: “where are they now?” Seek, dear listener.
