A collection of early, previously unreleased music recorded at Jason Quever's apartment at 924 Fulton in San Francisco while McCombs was living in Berkeley between 1999-2000. The Bay Area in the late '90s housed a special community of artists including Papercuts, Casiotone for the Painfully Alone, Chris Cohen's Curtains, and Mt. Egypt. The ethos was for maximum integrity and intimacy, and often music would only be shared with close friends. Graffiti writers, skaters and old timers from the '60s were never far away or far from mind.
Always following a mindset of moving forward, ever forward, this was a brief but productive phase in McCombs' career before he hit the road and traveled the country, eventually landing in New York City, where he would make the music that would come to reach a wider audience. What's so remarkable about Seed Cake On Leap Year is how vibrant and raw these songs remain, full of insight and wonder, in conversation with everything yet to come.
