The Nearest Exit May Be Inside You

$4.00 - $20.00

The Nearest Exit May Be Inside You is an album of being present with observation, and the body’s response. It’s a meditation of drifting to the moon, the bottom of the ocean, or a moss covered field, inside of a cloud. The album has a sense of exploration and uncertainty, yet an overall feeling of peace.

The cover art is an homage to the book, The Art and Practice of Astral Projection by Ophiel. The book was gifted to Tom by a stranger at a yard sale in Eugene. Tom sent a picture of the book to Eric Alan for inspiration. In minutes, Eric sent one of his photos of Brice Creek for the cover. This album is a DIY effort captured in the spaces between here and there with whatever elements were present. Tom printed, cut, and assembled the jackets for the vinyl at a sign factory, where he worked.
