Congrats to my friends & thank you to Recording Academy for including SWORD OF THE SEA at the '26 Grammys! & massive shoutout to @wilbertroget.bsky.social for the 2x nom!
I'm sad at the lack of Expedition 33 among them. I would happily trade places. That score is the *definition* of worthy!

An incredibly jam packed evening of math rock, prog, video games, Pokémon art, and anime. I couldn't be more grateful for my band, @armature.band , the folks at Tabletop Village, and the actual Ninja pit during Haruka Kanata 🤘
