ten tracks, a little under fifty minutes, built as one journey up the michigan shore: south to north along lake michigan, through the straits, and out along the south shore of superior to isle royale.
a microclimate is weather that belongs to one place and nowhere else. fog that sits on one bay while the next one is clear, a shoreline that gets its own snow. the lakes are made of these.
the album is built around whitefish point and the night of november 10, 1975. everything before it is the approach. everything after it is what the lake does once the storm has passed.
