inner's first release, all songs recorded in one take, as a rule... incredibly raw and inspiring.

Enjoy! This record is inspiring in that 'accept everything' sort of way. The whole cd was recorded with the concept of 'first take goes,' which Jennifer Turner of 'inner' feels is terribly lacking these days... everything, including our music, is processed to death. Smashed and stretched and smushed and whitened and glossied. The tracks here are alive and kicking, never second guessed, written and recorded and mixed all in the same day...

This wasn't what Jennifer's label at the time, Virgin, had in mind. They repeatedly wanted to know who was going to remix the thing. This led Jennifer to feel she finally had enough of the music industry as she knew it... basically, major labels weren't working for her. She easily decided to start her own label with the help of good friends. Caboose Music was born in August of 2001 amidst much confusion about what it is a label actually 'does.' As a test, Jennifer put out these first attempts to record on her own, 'the dog demos' (being so-named as they are incredible 'ruff')... it was the start of truly understanding what it means to 'put out' a record. There is much more to it than meets the eye. The dog demos were never really serviced to anyone... they are hard to find at this point. CD baby is the only place you can find it from an online service.

(Did I mention that CD Baby rocks?)
