about

First Album ever recorded and released by Anthony Retka in 1999.
I’ve been archiving and backing up all the music I’ve made from over the years. I took a trip down memory lane today when I came across the first album I ever released. If you’re wondering what I sounded like as a teenager, well, here you go. It’s exclusively on Bandcamp for free, or pay what you like at checkout. It seems like yesterday. And all I can say is: you have to start somewhere. It’s a pretty humble start, but a fun one that I want to share. This is where I started; where I fell in love with writing and recording. This release was recorded on tape, in one day, and I was a terrified kid who blew through the recordings nervous and excited all at the same time. It was so much fun and carries so many memories with it. My friend, Rachael 'Jennings' Chamberlain, sang on track 9 — and it is the best part of the album. My good friend and mentor, Chris Harthen, helped me make this first album and has believed in me ever since. Here’s to making music and never stopping, or diverting, from your purpose in life. Onward we go. More music to come in 2023!!
