Another new one. This song has a slow build, and is built to make you MOVE. More retro 80’s sounds. 

You can download it on soundcloud:

The most guitar-heavy song I’ve recorded in a long time. Kind of electro-acoustic/post rocky. Heavily influenced by Earth, Tortoise, Mogwai, etc. 

I’m trying to decide whether to keep this on the same album as the other tracks I’ve posted recently, or to put together a separate EP of songs more like this.

Another new song. This one is excessively 80’s. I have some ideas for a video to go along with it; hopefully that’ll come to fruition.

I think I’m about halfway done writing my next record; I’d like to have it out by May or June, but we’ll see what happens. My goal is to post a new song from it every Sunday for the next couple months.

Another new song. One of the poppier things I’ve ever written. I’ve been listening to a lot of Drake and Rick Ross lately, make of that what you will?

As usual, it’s available for free download over at —>bandcamp<—

I wrote and recorded “One Day, I Won’t” yesterday. It’s part of a big fat batch of songs I’ve been working on over the last week or two. At some point an EP or LP will result. Some of it is electroacoustic, some of it is light and funky, and then there are a couple songs like this one. 

“One Day, I Won’t” is lo-fi, fuzzed/blissed out, and either hypnotic or repetitive depending on whether you like it. I’ll probably throw vocals on it at some point. I was kind of going for a Martin Rev meets early M83 kind of sound, if the tapes were accidentally dropped into some bleach. Tell me what you think!

This tumblr is now the main website for my music. I’ll post about shows, new tunes, and whatever else I fancy. Cool.
