"5240" is not an album, per se. It is an experiment I'm conducting this year - writing, recording, and releasing a new song every week for the entirety of 2009. Previous to this year, I'd probably never even finished ten songs in one year before.

And here it is, the fourth and final "volume" of the series. The project is now over, and I made it - 52 songs in 52 weeks.

I wouldn't read too much into these "volumes", as the songs are simply compiled in the order they were released over the last three months. In most cases, there was no "grand plan" or anything, I generally was writing the song only days before it posted, with no thought to any sort of "album flow." I'm grouping the songs in this way to make it easier for people who are interested, but maybe late to the project, to be able to download the year's output thus far in larger blobs.

This volume is called "Autumn" mostly because it was autumn while I worked on these tunes.

Most all of the songs here are "solo" songs, recorded by me, by myself, in my apartment. A couple of tracks have guest performers.

This was it, the home stretch. For the most part, the songs came fast and furious at the end, with real-life events and sickness being the main challenges to overcome in getting the project wrestled to a close.

If you followed along throughout 2009, I hope you found some songs you liked. It's going to be weird not posting a new song every Monday morning, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't looking forward to having a life (and normal sleeping patterns) once again. Thanks for listening.
