BREAKING POINT
After focusing on classical music for more than a decade, Jandreau felt increasingly disillusioned and empty. In 2019, in honor of his 30th birthday, Jandreau decided to embark on what he called the"30 for 30 Release Project". For this project, he released 29 tracks of his previously unreleased music, comprising what would become early versions of three of his albums: Telephonic Butter (2006), Lessons & Lost Things (2013), and Random Demolition (2016), with the 30th – and last – track, On the Lake (2019), being a new release as a single. All of the tracks were released on Bandcamp under the project name "August Stone & Crowe". The three albums were meant to capture Jandreau's most meaningful and best work up until that point, withTelephonic Butter capturing his output from high school, Lessons & Lost Things capturing college and graduate school, and Random Demolition capturing early adult life. The single On the Lake signaled a new path forward away from the classical music which had dominated Jandreau's output for the better part of 15 years.
