Love Stories and Picture Shows is a collection of short stories told by ten different people. Each song is a tale of love, loss, and learning featuring a unique cast of characters. The chord changes are their nervous heartbeats; the dynamics are their mood swings, and the lyrics are their memoirs.
Soliloquies (A Journey of Human Emotions) was an improvised no-wave jazz project in which Pat Dougherty played all the instruments. Each piece represents a different human emotion, and the album aims to change how the listener feels track by track. This is the deluxe edition that features the bonus tracks, "Home" and "Puzzling and Beautiful."
