RECORDED SONGS
FROM THE TOASTER
FROM THE TOASTER
Recorded Songs from the Toaster is where the music and the writing are closest to the same thing. These songs were drawn largely from the emotional territory of Poems from the Toaster, Vol. II, written when those poems were still fresh in Kitzmiller's mind, still warm from the page. Several arrived in the studio as poems first and left as songs. The transition is not always audible. That is the point.
Recorded Songs from the Toaster, Vol. I was the debut volume under Ace of Toaster Records. This is singer/songwriter music at its most confessional: acoustic at the core, alt-rock in its fuller moments, and honest throughout in the specific way that writing something for your own ears rather than for anyone else's tends to be.
Recorded in collaboration with Some Guy Named Tim and The James Fields Band, Vol. I and II each cover eleven tracks across a range of emotional territory: love and the hesitation before it, heartbreak and the specific absurdity of living inside it, and the ordinary days that somehow ask the most of a person. The songs move between stripped-down acoustic confessionals and fuller arrangements that give the heavier moments the weight they need.
Recorded Songs from the Toaster is an ongoing series. New volumes will be released through Ace of Toaster Records as they are completed.

Just one of many examples: Should I Kiss You began as a poem in Poems from the Toaster before finding its way into this recording. It is not the only track that made that journey. Recorded Songs Vol. 1 draws broadly from the emotional world of Poems from the Toaster, Vol. II, and readers familiar with those collections will recognize the voice immediately. The same one, now set to music.
