"Illusory Motion" by Elder from their EP, Gold and Silver Sessions. Unboxing this very pretty LP. #musicmarketingmakesmewanttodie #vinyl #asmr #asmrunboxing #unbox #unboxing #vinylrecords

Record of the Week: Higher Higher, Burning Fire. If you ever find me purchasing a Theramin, this will be why. A delightfully weird record, something that slouched its way out of an 80s art film or a fever dream, and yet it exists. #albums #unboxing #theramin #newmusic #weird #instrumental #retrovibe

Lordy I do love some good post-rock. This is Buffalo from Chandler/Phoenix at Groundworks in Tucson

I've been pretty good about staying organized with all my old demos, and went back to the beginning to find this simple demo.

Everything has to start somewhere.

One day I'm going to make an album that's just pretty music that doesn't have emotional gut-punches behind every last aspect of its writing and/or track order, but THIS AIN'T IT 🫠

Also I was SO BAD in those basketball games OMG 💀

Album's out 8/1 i9.band/nothing
yaaaaaay

Record of the Week: Daggers by @dreamkid83.com

Very happy to debut what is going to be a long-running series of posts. I've been recording my unboxings for literally years; I ordered this LP when it first came out. It's been so long there's another album coming out.

Rewind. Play.

Song: Chrissy

Just trying to get ahead of this before my album launches 8/1: i9.band/nothing

The hazards of singing alto (and the benefits)! #choirboy #alto #counterpoint #songwriting #vocalists #vocals

This is the origin of the song Heat, from my upcoming album, NOTHING IS EASY, out on Bandcamp Friday, August 1st and everywhere else August 8th.

It involves BEARDS and DEATH.

Happy Juneteenth. I don't have much to say other than to please take the reason for this day's existence into your heart. This is a clip of the original version inspired by the Floyd protests. It was eventually published as a more somber, introspective piece: i9.band/roses

My parents were vets; Dad a Vietnam Marine combat vet, Mom a Navy nurse who joined in the 1st Gulf War. It's easy to be cynical about the US military. It's not above criticism. But they took their oaths to the Constitution very seriously, and fought to make the things they could fairer and safer.

Hi, I have a pretty chill little EP coming out, er, tomorrow. Somewhere between lofi and cinematic. A collaboration with @hackyandbird.bsky.social, with a 2nd track that with drummer Yahli Ambus.

It's titled These Riots Grow Roses

Call of the Void may be instrumental, but it's about trying to cope with a constant blast of intentionally-terrible information meant to cause despair. But even though we know it wounds us, the Void calls. #postrock Listen here: i9.band/cotv

A #post-rock / #drone behemoth is headed your way.
