i’m really proud of this record, it has some of my favorite sounds i’ve ever captured on it. i like to think i’m just a goofy guitar goon but this record became more serious than i expected it to be. last year some old wounds were opened up and everything fell out. while writing these songs, i spent a lot of time driving back and forth across the city. after living in over 20 addresses, i feel like my relationship with LA is complex and strange - being surrounded by the past while trying to be present, especially when both can be painful, sad, and confusing. sometimes reality becomes impossible to escape, and everything becomes a search for an answer or an exit.

i’m working on a new live set and instrumental solo guitar record, so i’ve been revisiting the last time i made a record with no words. it’s kinda manic and all over the place, with mellow lap steel, oozy shoegaze textures, impromptu shreds you should check it out
(also the only non-guitar sound on the record is a sample of chris tucker from fifth element, because why not 🤪)

Shameless self promo. Been working on tracking my next release which is an LP that should be (hopefully) out before the end of this year. If you like dream pop, post-punk revival, jangle pop, math rock, and garage rock, this might be ur cup of tea. A good chunk of the music was written when I was in middle school/high school except for my EP Never Better, which was written when I was a freshman/sophmore in college with my old bandmates (my first collaborative release!). I honestly cringe listening to my old music now but I guess that just means I’ve become a better songwriter. The new songs sound so different and I can’t wait to share them. In the meantime, I’d check out Too Close for Comfort, D-emo, and Slow Days.

so after years of working as a musician for other people, i decided to put out my own album - and it just came out at midnight last night!
i would usually self-deprecate in a situation like this for a whole slew of self-preservation purposes but i think i’m just gonna try to be normal for a sec so uhhhhh
i would love to know what you all think! i’ve linked the album here :)

thank you all so much for being such supportive and cool people. you’ve all single-handedly restored my faith in the beauty of online spaces and collectivism in general lol
PS.: there’s also a cool visualizer on my instagram (i fucking hate premiere pro) that i think is pretty nifty. i linked it at the top of this post (chain icon)

pro tip, dreams don’t always make sense - so when weird/bad stuff happens, you can shrug it off and be like wow what a weird dream bro 🤷
