Quixotica was my unofficial senior year of high school megaproject, whose work really started when summer began. A few of the songs had been born earlier than that. It sounds juvenile to me now but at the same time, I’m surprised how well it fits in with what I make now. I think I tried to cram a lot of sounds and references into one album in a way that felt messy at the time, but in retrospect I realize that might just be what Lee Pendu sounds like. Also I’ve learned a lot more about mixing and mastering.
