Hope everyone is well in this strange hellscape we call civilization.. wanted to pop in to say the new album is progressing.. whittled down to 17 tracks thus far. It's different.. sort of a collection of shorts, spells, and moods. Hopefully, we'll be around long enough to release it. Love to all.

Four years of 'Beholder' today.. thanks for listening!

I feel like the album pairs well with today (4/20) and would also be one JC would consider spinning on his return.

Shout out to all the finance bros who didn’t give a shit about democracy, human rights, racism, homophobia, misogyny, the future of the planet or basic human decency and voted for the conman they thought was gonna be good for the economy. You guys are geniuses.

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

Whittling down a list of songs for a new album. Thus far, I have 17 ideas/ odds and ends pieces to work with. The bulk are beat, low end/ synth heavy, but there's a lot of guitar, too. Shronk to Shoegaze and African to psychedelic..
I like what's coming together.
Now, on to final arrangements..

9 years of 'All Lines Leading Inward '.
I'm working on new material..Hopefully, I'll have at least one release completed this year. The second will be an ode to "spaghetti westerns".
If you are seeing this, I thank you for supporting this project. Be well. Love to all. Fuck fascism.

The harsh realization that 5 years has passed since playing a show.. Perhaps I should take a friend's advice and host small/curated/ destination shows on my property? Anyone interested in that type of event? ..or any burgeoning road crew warriors out there looking for work maintaining a giant rig?

Greetings all. Hope this finds you well as possible ( Happy New Year too ). I wanted to pop in to say thanks to all of you who continue to support ( ie listen / engage ) this project. I'm extremely grateful. Yesterday saw the first steps in creating a new album. I hope to have more to share soon.

Still feels like we're living in a waking ( bad ) dream. I wanted to share my last release with you. I hope that it might bring some peace. So, if you're feeling anxious/ down with the decline of humanity.. this is for you. Thanks for listening.
