Things to Listen to in 2026


Not Everything is Replacable - Ceramic Rabbit


Not Everything is Replacable is a collection of lo-fi and hi-fi tracks from Wyn, AKA Ceramic Rabbit, recorded prior to and compiled after their apartment caught fire. Wyn's music is some of the best new lo-fi hometaping of the 2020s, and this project is no exception. Pig I Am is a masterpiece.

All of a Sudden, Pow! - The Ekphrastics


Frank Boscoe's lyrics are funny and pithy as ever, but the subject matter in All of a Sudden, Pow! is at times more serious than his previous indie pop vehicles have allowed. The Ekphrastics have really come into their own sound here as well; Paul Coleman's new wave bass and Mark Wolfe's indie rock guitars come together with ambient eurorack enthusiast John Lancia's drums to create sounds that are both atmospheric and still totally in-line with 2024's Make Your Own Snowboard and 2023's Special Delivery.

Meanwhile in Collegeville - Rob Rapp


I heard Rob Rapp for the first time covering a song from Bee Thousand on Almost Halloween Time's Key Eat Mune comp. Meanwhile in Collegeville feels like a modern skate-punk take on Guided By Voices. Great for blasting during the summer months, but I've had it on CD in my car all winter and it's still holding up. I almost exclusively listen to this or Bloc Party's Silent Alarm while driving anymore.

Total Pain - BRNDA


Maybe my favorite album of 2025. I wrote a full review of the album here, so go read that and also listen to this record. It's so so so good.

Aguacatero - The Lookout Honeys


Aguacatero is the sort of Riot Grrl record that I would expect Harriet Records to put out-- that is to say that it lands somewhere between riot grrl and indie pop in a way that really scratches the brain right.

Instant Coffee - Dimitriam & The Bug Club


Dimitriam goes hi-fi! I also reviewed this album on the site here, but I want to reiterate that Instant Coffee is an instant classic.

My Stuff

Big Club

I released Big Club on September 26th, 2025. It is an album about how hopeless it can feel sometimes to be trapped in exploitative cycles. It is the last of three albums recorded during the summer of 2025.

Fettuccine Alfredo Diorama

Fettuccine Alfredo Diorama released on August 31st. This is my fourth full-length tape, and the second of my space-fi explorations. Some of these songs are survivors from the Hermit Crab Sarcophagus sessions, but most were written after the fact. Three new Compulsions songs break this one up at the beginning, middle, and end!

Hermit Crab Sarcophagus

I released my third tape, Hermit Crab Sarcophagus on June 2nd, 2025. It was the last album recorded fully on my Tascam MF-P01 Portastudio before my recent upgrade to a Porta03 MkII. You'll find out more about that when the next one releases! Until then, please enjoy Hermit Crab Sarcophagus. I'm calling it a Space-Fi record for now, but let me know if you have a better genre for it.

Commercial Break

I released Commercial Break on November 4th 2024! This album was fully recorded and mixed using a Tascam MF-P01 Portastudio (with some mastering in Audacity to reduce the tape hiss). Check out the album below, and let me know your favorite song from it using the Contact Me form at the bottom of the page!

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. You Are in Wilkinsburg Now? is available now, both digitally and on cassette tape over on my Bandcamp! You can use the player below to listen to the album!

The Here And Now

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, any tape compilations I may be putting together, and any new collages that I'm ready to share. Here's one I made recently, which I'm calling Kibitzer.

I've got a cover of the Mountain Goats' Romans 10:9 below! If you like that one, I've got plenty of covers over at The Cover Zone.
