My Work So Far
You Are In Wilkinsburg Now?
On May 22nd, 2024, I released You Are In Wilkinsburg Now? I've been working on this album since 2017, technically, but I didn't start recording until late 2021. The title of the album is taken from an envelope I received from Frank Boscoe of The Ekphrastics (and others), pictured below (this is also the cover for the album, which is out now digitally as well as on a limited run of white C40s). You can use the player below to listen to the album!
Tapes for The Mountain Goats' Pittsburgh Shows
For The Mountain Goats' last two Pittsburgh tour stops, I've been making and giving out tapes! You can check out both tapes below. The first, Disarmingly Bright, was created for the 12/10/2023 show at Thunderbird, while the second, Honey, Lemon, Chamomile was released for the 10/12/24 show at Mr. Smalls!
There are 30 of this tape to be handed out! You can also check out my tape project from last year, Disarmingly Bright.
The Here And Now
Commercial Break
You can always find out more about what I'm working on by heading over to the Current Projects page. I'll be keeping that page updated with any new plans for music alongside any tape compilations I may be putting together. Currently, I'm focusing on a project that I'm calling Commercial Break! Commercial Break will be a collection of songs that are less personal. These are songs that will focus on canned food empires, fast food conglomerates, and allusions to the media I've been consuming as of late. I'm planning this as my first project fully recorded on a 4-track, but potentially might include some songs recorded on a microcassette recorder, just for the aesthetic. You can hear a demo from the album on my Current Projects page.
Enjoy this first look at the album, and check out the lead single Blood Red Technicolor. Tentative release date for this album is November 8th, 2024.
I've also got an acoustic cover of Vehicle Flips' Expendable You that you can download below, but beware, it's not even close to as good as the original. If you like that one, I've got plenty of covers over at The Cover Zone.
