Although "Home Demons" contains a few bona fide studio out takes, most of the tracks were recorded in Kevin’s box room at home surrounded by his guitars, cheap keyboards and Kiss figures, in the company of long suffering girlfriend Tonya (cocover star) and their teenage cat Rat.

Many from Kevin’s demo pile ended up in full-blown studio form on the 2004 release "Wake Up Captain," which The Chicago Reader named the #1 Chicago release of the year, and UK’s UNCUT voted in their year-end Top 60. Further, MOJO described KT as a “a wry, dreamy-voiced soul let loose in a deluxe soft rock playpen” (that’s a good thing) and the Onion compared Wake Up Captain to the “early-‘70s work of John Lennon and Harry Nilsson.” Inspired by the sheer number of unreleased home demos collecting on CD-Rs in Kevin’s apartment, Parasol is releasing the first volume of Kevin Tihista’s Home Demons series. Volume 1 features fourteen tracks including the original version of the "Wake Up Captain" track “Sweet,” a cover of the Dave Mason hit “We Just Disagree” and songs from the download only collection “Dracula.” Standard Jewel Case.
