Listening to the McCoy Tyner “forces of nature” live record earlier this year I was absolutely blown the hell away by the drummer - had to look him up and track down everything I could. RIP. Listen today and be in awe.

I filmed a little vid talking about my Patreon (becoming pay anything, get everything), my podcast (changing up format), and the album I’m working on (featuring lyrics from old notebooks). There’s also a cat. Enjoy!

“Today I’m slightly / less unsightly / and I cannot move / with 3 cats on me” is a true to life lyric I just wrote for a new song.

Love this song! The name comes from a funny convo we had while recording No Coast regarding the popularity of songs that are digitally quantized into things like pro tools.
10 years since we released this Braid 7" 🤯 originally made for Record Store Day 2015, ‘Kids Get Grids’ features an original track by the same name alongside a Broken Hearts Are Blue cover, both recorded mixed + produced by Will Yip. Artwork by Andy Mueller.
