My friends, the time has come. Returning to our sweet Southern California for one final gig, the last in the foreseeable future, and what we hope will be a worthy conclusion to the Here in the Pitch tour. We’ll be in the beachside idyll known as Ventura, California w/ our friends and purveyors of singular psychedelia Peel Dream Magazine on estimable support. Our fellows at In Sheep's Clothing are selecting records before, during and after the show.
August 9th the full moon illuminates our last dance. Hope to see you there.

Working with Rocky was surreal and cool as hell. When he’s in the room it’s untrammeled creativity. First-ever collab, can’t believe my luck. Thank you, Mr. Flacko.

Well, we made it. Here in the Pitch is now in the hands of the masses. Been a helluva ride. Thank you for listening. After all I’ve promised you so faithfully, you still believe in me 🕯️🎶 jessicapratt.lnk.to/HITPYD
Many advisors and collaborators made their imprint on this record. Al Carlson, wizard, engineer extraordinaire, co-producer and jack of all trades, played flute, baritone sax, bass, perc, piano and various organs and synths. Al runs on a different frequency. His brain and hands work faster than mine, but he met me on my pensive side of things and together we locked into an occasional magic. Like two hunters in the woods waiting for a hare to trick the trap.
The other major player, Matt McDermott, was like one of the all-time famous sports coaches / producers. Knowing how to summon someone’s best efforts by cutting to the chase and cutting to the heart. No self-pity, just follow the pure tone. The music is bigger than you, as he says. It’s very important to have people around that believe in you.
Our dear friend, producer Peter Mudge, joined us in the studio and made a few house calls in LA when our fate felt uncertain. Peter, Matt and I wrote Glances one late summer eve in the cool of the basement.
Mauro Refosco and Spencer Zahn, rhythm section from another galaxy, lent an indelible spirit to a good many of the tunes on this rec.
Alex Goldberg played drums on Life Is and The Last Year.
Thank you to @mexican_summer and @cityslangrecords for their continued support.
