“In a way, all relationships are simply conversations. Some are brief flashes, sparks, which may extinguish as quickly as they began. Others last longer, or pause for years - only to pick up again where they left off. Some maybe never end. Years ago our band Girls Against Boys had one of those - once in a lifetime dream-like shows in Athens, Greece which for me epitomized a moment in time. Later, I decided to go back and make a record there - inthis place which holds an almost mythological meaning to me. To record music in a city which is more or less a dream is affecting. One is out of place - a visitor-time traveler. Visiting scenes. Alienating and yet comforting. These songs are about memories -romances - ideas - which remain alive and ever changing. The reality of experience itself blurred by time. Music is of course also a conversation-between riffs, motifs- questions and answers. And more questions. Jokes, language, flirtations. Atmosphere. Ultimately, the longest conversation we may ever have is with ourselves. Sitting with a notebook, watching the street life - mopeds & graffiti. The memories we carry become treasures - worlds to revisit which are still alive. And like cities and songs they don’t stop living. The biggest part of who we are is perhaps what we remember.”

The album was recorded by Dimitris Dimitriades at Zero Gravity studios in Athens, Greece and initially conceived as an experiment and time capsule, stripped down raw recordings on acoustic guitar and voice with minimal adornment. Over time, and several visits to Athens, the song sketches were fleshed out with a variety of musical guests with the intent of maintaining the vulnerable and minimal atmosphere of the original sessions.

Starting in the late Eighties Scott was the guitarist for Washington DC’s post-hardcore band Soulside (Dischord) before moving to NYC and co-founding Girls Against Boys (Touch & Go, DGC) in the Nineties.
