Jestem Krzywym Lasem Track by Track: Without You
Today brings us to track 3 on Jestem Krzywym Lasem, here’s our breakdown of “Without You”. I’ve spoken a bit about “Without You” before, even sharing a snap from when and where it was written back in December 2020. I had actually woken up one morning and some of the lyrics started swirling around my head as I worked up the strength to get out … Continue reading Jestem Krzywym Lasem Track by Track: Without You
Memory Lane: Wedding Edition
I’ve been holding off on this blog series (I’m assuming it’ll wind up being a mini series) because I’m still in the middle of the whole getting divorced thing. Officially I’ll be able to submit the next wave of paperwork as of November 1st, and then, assuming my ex gets his in quickly, too, we then have to wait for the courts to get back … Continue reading Memory Lane: Wedding Edition
Jestem Krzywym Lasem Track By Track: Quiksand
Continuing our crusade through Jesyem Krzywym Lasem from the previous overview post, here’s our track by track breakdown of the first song on the record, “Quiksand”. Quiksand was the first song I wrote that I realized pretty quickly it didn’t quite fit in with all the other songs I was working on at the time. It was somehow musically even more toned down than any … Continue reading Jestem Krzywym Lasem Track By Track: Quiksand
Jestem Krzywym Lasem Track By Track: Driveway
Following up on our blog about Jestem Krzywym Lasem, here’s our track by track breakdown of the first single from the record, track 2’s “Driveway”. “Driveway” was really the catalyst for deciding that I needed to branch away from (ha!) the Crooked Forest name for this EP and put it out under my given name. But knowing full well that this was just another piece … Continue reading Jestem Krzywym Lasem Track By Track: Driveway
Jaimee Eat World Release: Seventeen
A little ahead of our unplanned schedule, today we dropped our cover of “Seventeen” off of Static Prevails. Check out the official video here: I opted to track Seventeen this week because, well, I’d already been practicing the acoustic version, so instead of going through the arduous task of beginning from absolute scratch, we set our thimble on the board and we were off to … Continue reading Jaimee Eat World Release: Seventeen

EP Release: “Jestem Krzywym Lasem” Coming October 29th 2021
Late last week I finished mixing my new EP, “Jestem Krzywym Lasem” and almost just as quickly, I got it up and ready to go on all those digital streaming platforms you all use to listen to rad tunes (thanks Distrokid for making this processes insanely easy). It’s an acoustic based EP, just guitar and vocals, and we landed on 4 original songs and 1 … Continue reading EP Release: “Jestem Krzywym Lasem” Coming October 29th 2021

National Day for Truth & Reconciliation
Today marks the first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in Canada which seek to acknowledge and commemorate the victims and survivors of Canada’s 140 federally-run residential schools. For many Canadians, myself included, there is still so much to learn about the residential school system and the systemic abuse that continues to carry on within the Indigenous population today. In my best efforts to explain … Continue reading National Day for Truth & Reconciliation
