LP: AWFUL MESS MYSTERY by Wolfie

Company: Mud Records

Role: Musician, Producer, Designer

Four teenagers had a dream to release an album on a real-life record label. And we did it! Wolfie existed from 1996-2001, and I sang, played bass and guitar, and wrote approximately half of the songs. AWFUL MESS MYSTERY was our debut album and it’s still my favorite. We recorded on a combination of four track cassette (by us) and 24-track DAT tape (by Rick Valentin of Poster Children).

I designed the minimalist artwork while still in school. It was influenced by Paul Rand and Scholastic Book fairs from my childhood.

Pitchfork said: “One of — if you ask me — the best records of the nineties.”
