(with additional engineering by Tamas Mester at Flood, Gowanus, Brooklyn ) AND Mixed by Eric Claptop at the Doghouse, Brooklyn, NY
Mastered by Farzin Fard at 3F Music, United Arab Emirates.

James M Graham joined us live for our 2nd Record Release show, seriously at the last minute. Talk about jumping on the bandwagon, he literally jumped on stage at the close of our second set FOR THE ENCORES. It was at that moment, we all knew we were "mighty"

This is the First official release and recordings by the MIGHTY JSE.

+ a HUGE thank-you to Archelao Macrillò for his invaluable contributions to the band!!! Without him I doubt this collection of Studio scraps would have came out into the light of day, AND while I can't say the King Crawls wouldn't have been possible, it CERTAINLY would not have sounded so professional. Yes, because of him. Drumming is the foundation to any Great band. And when you record in big, fancy studios, the tried and true method is to CAPTURE a greay drum take first for they literally lay the entire foundation upon which all else can play on/with and over (I bet the word "overdub / overdubbing" never struck you as being quite SO literally before hadn'nit?

ANYway, LIKE THE KING CRAWLS (Which was planned to drop in 2016... then xmas. Then 2017 ... then YEAH RIGHT ! I got evicted in 2018 and could barely even find all the scattered tracks in my emails and gdrives (i have over 80 for backups. for JUST such an occasion. As in : IN CASE OF EMERGENCY. and wouldn't you know it? I was feeling rather urgent and emergency-like for the next several few ensuing years. Thanks AGAIN to those few who stuck by me, and supported me .during those deep dark times. So as I was saying, just in case I had everything backed up, like everything with a million exports and stems and mixes and sure I had everything labeled and dated, but even then, my organization methods and how many folders I had containing more folders left me scratching my head. In fact, it was just last week I realized the uploaded Glossolalia master here on Bandcamp HAD NO BASS. Similarly the National Song here is sans one very special Susan Potoroka. On what WAS SUPPOSED TO * finally * be her JSE debut, after so many years as band family, rehearsing, jamming, writing and performing together and with New York Band Draft AND with out prospective groups and even once or twice as A CincoFlux Affair (Matty from Seaflux holding it down behind the kit and the aformentioned SUPER THANKS FOR ASKING Susan *feline* Potoroka.
She had never actually been RECORDED playing bass with us for a JSE release, nor have I ever featured on one of her or Martin's bands' recordings. (However much incestuous we appeared on stage for years and years and years)
Fun Fact: While Susan has yet to be professionally RECORDED with us she very well MAY HAVE RECORDED US - the JSE (classic) at our late 2009 gigs at the Delancey on the LES with her "Edirol"
(the Model just before Roland manufactured the R-09HR - which technically replaced what amounted to be the same product only prior to 2010 it had previously been branded “EDIROL by Roland”. A great little "micro-cassette-looking" recording device with Flash RAM that fits into your pocket and your budget. Gone are the days of unmistakably high, tinny treble overdrive and yet somehow simultanously boomy and bassey sound from the first roll-outs by SONY in the 90s tagged "the Minidisc" Minidiscs were great (for sneaking into clubs and for bootleggers, but they were atrocious for accurate , listanable live sound. It was as if SONY set out to create the most harshly peakish ear-fatigue inducing product to come off of their assembly lione. EVERY!!!
for US on our VERY FIRST release in 2010 capturing us on her edirol
