I didn’t mean to tease this out for so long but it turns out that self-releasing a record is a lot of work. But I’m happy to say that Extracolor is available today. Please give it a spin. This is a very personal album about the years I started to heal my mind and there are spiritual themes but I hope it works just as well on a carnal level. There is no filler on this record. These are the 12 best songs I can give you.
If you are one of those people who pays for music, you can grab it on stores like iTunes and bandcamp. Both of these options will give you the beautiful graphic booklet, created by Josh at Kingship Creative, which has artwork, credits and lyrics. It’s really nice. Extracolor will be available on other stores too but wherever you grab it please do me a favor and throw up a review on iTunes. It helps.
There will be some more singles, remixes, b-sides and maybe even some videos coming down the pipe this spring. But for now just check out the record.
I hope you love the music as much as I did making it. I’m really proud of this one.
I’m very excited to announce the first official single from the new album Extracolor: “One More Time,” featuring Gregory Clark. It’s available in all the usual places, including iTunes and Bandcamp.
I don’t have a preference for where you get it, so long as you get to hear it. If you get it from Bandcamp or a store besides iTunes I would ask one favor, that you head over to iTunes to comment on and rate the track. I can use all the support I can get!
She’s only put out a couple of songs but I’m going along with the hype on this one. I dig her production but it’s kind of beside the point because the writing is so good and it makes me feel like in the end only good writing will last. There are like 25 parts on Video Games that give me chills, just so many evil hooks. And as a singer Lana is killing it. I’ve really grown to love her fake lips and giant hoop earrings and the way her whole image goes through an instagram retro filter. I love all that because she seems so real anyway and I like that friction. One the one hand, wildly over the top image control but then gives super frank interviews and just talks straight and is smart and normal makes the interviewers uncomfortable. Sitting there with attitude because she can back it all up with that witch’s voice.
Here’s a trailer for a short film that I scored called “Rebirth.” The film was commissioned by Figo salon for their summer fashion show, which took place this past Saturday. It’s a gorgeous film and was created by a very talented group called The Work. I can’t wait to do more collaborations with these guys. Make sure to check out the full film (linked to under the trailer). ▶ Vimeo -
Today is the day of big news. First off, I finished the new record. It’s called Extracolor and it has 12 songs on it. One of those songs is going to get its radio debut tomorrow on WDET’s Essential Music with Ann Delisi. The song is “Got To Be (The Lowest I’ve Been)” and features vocalist Gregory Clark.
There’ll be more stuff on this site in the coming months. But for now, you can check out some of the video I shot of the making of Extracolor on my Video Page, including the drum and vocal sessions of “Got To Be (The Lowest I’ve Been).”
Check out this BBC-produced documentary on Krautrock. Totally beautiful and inspiring. Cluster and early Tangerine Dream were a big deal to me when I discovered them. If anybody knows where I can get a legit copy of this let me know.
