Happy Casual Friday everyone. I have something I’d like to share with you all: an album of mine, 4 years in the making.

Around 2022 I became aware of just how dire the future looks—on top of experiencing some personal and family hardship—and I channeled that energy into these songs. Some of them are old, some of them are newer, but they all share a common theme: collapse. Climate change, late stage capitalism, political instability, religious zealotry, anti-intellectualism…and above all, a desire to escape from this hellacious prison we’ve created for ourselves…these are the themes of my work. Indeed, I am very fun at parties.

Unfortunately I can’t offer any hope or ideas for solutions, but nevertheless I found that creating this album was cathartic, and the time I put into curating it and improving upon it was a welcome distraction from reality over these past few years. Needless to say I could've tripled or quadrupled the track count with all of the issues I worked through, but I feel that these are the best and most polished of the lot.

Please don’t judge me too harshly—or, if you do, try to be constructive. I am not a professional anything and I do this out of my home studio for the love of doing it. I am an amateur at every instrument I attempt, and 90% of the drums on this record are loops and/or samples because I am especially bad at drums. I’m not much of a producer either but this is about as polished as this is going to get. And hey, at least I didn't use any fucking AI

I usually never release anything I create, but this album just felt like it had to be put out there today. If you like it, maybe drop me a line or share it with a friend. I don’t intend to do much self-promotion, if any, but I figured that if any group of folks would appreciate the themes at play here, it would be you fine folks.

Sorry for the novel. If you got this far or listened to the tunes, THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

Sorry, couldn’t resist…because if you resist they’ll shoot you down in the street.

Okay, okay, I’m actually done this time. See ya.
