Every once in a while someone will see something in their life which has such a profound impact on their psyche that they are never
able to fully shake it; it leaves them with the equivalent of phantom pains that they can never quite shake from the rafters of their
mind. TK Webb describes seeing the shanty towns of Kansas City, Kansas when he was a boy much this way: small houses built out
of tin & cardboard, the kind of place you file away in your mind as a place you hope to never see. TK wrote and recorded KCK draw-
ing from these memories, attempting to exhume not the sad narrative tied to KCK, but the emotional landscape it left imprinted on
him.

Born Thomas Kelley Webb in rural Missouri, TK took to the guitar at a very young age and we mean that in the most prodigious sense
possible. It is said that by age 9 he had mastered the entire Zeppelin catalog, and by 13 he was applying his skills to bands spearheaded
by people almost twice his age. In his mid-teens TK inherited a stack of delta blues records and found himself at home. This led him
away from the by the books style of indie rock that so many of his contemporaries were getting into.

When TK eventually moved to NYC he found no shortage of people anxious to have him sit in, whether it be lending his harmonic skills
to bands like the Witnesses and label mates Blood On the Wall or being recruited to lend a slow hand to the boys of the Anniversary for
their first tour with their new outfit The Only Children. TK though has always been more at home doing his own music, stamping out
the rhythm by thumping his foot onto a broken down old suitcase loaded with a tambourine, beating on his resonator with the kind of
fluid control most players aspire for, and howling into a microphone or harmonica like a madman let loose on the audience.

This latest record, his second, was recorded over a weekend/six pack of sour mash at Junkyard Audio Salvage into the wee hours of
the morning. With Sean Maffucci at the board, this record brings to light TK Webb’s inherent vision-talent-musicianship as well as all
those memories. You can hear them dancing in the tape delay like some audible sense of utter desolation, as TK howls back at them in
the rafters.
