Howdy, readers of this article.
It is the 8th of December at the current moment, thank you kindly for viewing this blog and letting me occupy your attention for a period of time.
For what I think has been over a year now, I’ve been hard at work on my proper debut full-length LP. I’m incredibly grateful to have debuted a selection of the material last month at the Fox Cabaret, and to have played alongside Daniel McBurnie on the electric bass guitar, harmony vocals, and tambourine, as well as Jake Holmes on the drums and harmony vocals. We had also played some older material which received a wholeheartedly welcomed and appreciated response. Thank you to everyone who had spent their time and energy to engage with what I enjoy doing.
The new material has been an interesting exploration for me, as for the first time in a while I have a sole musical focus, with practically no other projects on display (save for a 10-minute ambient set I played a year ago that I was kindly invited to play by local legend Nathan Shubert). Work on it has been fairly start and stop, which although at times frustrating, it gives me moments to reflect and re-approach aspects of the songs from a clearer mind.
There are a few songs that are finally nearing the finish line, with 2 1/2 having crossed already. I look forward very dearly to releasing the first couple singles for the record in progress. Sometimes doing it yourself can be tiring.
Regardless, I aim to post updates more frequently as we cross into the year 2024, which judging by the work being done by my fellow comrades in the music world, should be quite the fantastic year for releases.
Here’s to making a record that hopefully contributes to that all-star cast of creative minds,
