TODAY is a compilation album by California, released in 2022. It consists of twelve tracks, most of which were recorded for a project spanning (for the most part) from November 2020 to June 2021, which was largely unintentional to begin with. As California's creative process grew more complex over time, some demos were saved to the loop library, and with each new recording the process became more and more deliberate, until they were eventually made for their own sake. These "shorts" were saved in the memory bank of their looping pedal, and typically featured simple melodies or chord progressions that could be fleshed out later. Many of the tracks were recorded in Spring 2021, and one was done in June, but after this there were no more made for the project, so a track from the experimental "butchered" sessions was used to end the release. The album features Alexandre Banks on acoustic guitar, electric guitar, makeshift drum-kit, bongo and vocals. It was recorded from November 2019 to August 2021 and released in January 2022 in Skokie, Illinois.
