It took long enough but I’ve finally got a new record coming out called Lost Dispatch. It’s being released by The Royal Potato Family June 14th. There’s a single called Mystics out too. If you haven’t heard it click here to check it out. You can also pre order the record there. The album consists of 11 tracks that explore themes of exoticism, fantasy, and psychedelia. Over the years as I've discovered library music recordings from the 1950s and 60s, I found myself getting lost in low-fi tones of the exoticised tropics, which has inspired the record. The sounds are surrealist; a sonic landscape comprised of analog synths, percussion, woodwinds, and field recordings. I started writing/recording this material at my old apartment in Brooklyn 8 years ago, but most of it came together in 2013-2016 during a brief stint in Texas before I headed back to New York. We’ve got a handful of tour dates, a few east coast and west coast shows. Check out the tour page for details and come say hi if you make it out.
Other than that, I’m about to embark on a EU tour with Cass McCombs, and also have a record date with Brad Williams and Nate Smith this month. Once I’m back in June, we’ve got the release show on the 14th at Union Pool, then more dates throughout the rest of the summer with Cass, the Fruit Bats, Grateful Shred, and my band.
Lastly, I gave the website here a much needed update. New bio, some new pics, and there’s a new page called music that has my last two records on it. When Lost Dispatch releases it will be up there too. Who knows, maybe I’ll start posting live shows as well…
