Time Enough: New split EP with Neo Obisidan out NOW!

Time Enough V2.jpg

A few weeks ago my good friend and collaborator Alex sent me a track he’d put together the night before and I was instantly hooked on it. I’d wanted to write something like this for a while, but particularly during this quarantine period. With Alex having lit a fire under my butt, I asked him if he’d be up for doing another one and me doing two in the same vein and making a split EP out of it - this would function as both a way of me putting out some new music as well as him properly putting some of his incredible music out in the world, so win-win.

So: surprise, dummies, we did that. 

Time Enough is our four-track split EP. Two songs from me and two songs from Alex in his first release as Neo Obsidian. This EP is entirely instrumental; the songs are mostly ambient, atmospheric, dreamy, ethereal, a little self-indulgent, and hopefully hopeful. We hope that you’ll listen to it either when you’re working from home, cleaning up or, more ideally, when you have 25 minutes (yes, that’s long for four songs) to zone out and just take a breather from “all of this stuff going on.” We didn’t want this record to be defined by this awful, scary time in everyone’s lives, but we also hope we’ve made something that might get you through it a little more easily.

The EP will be available on all streaming platforms either right now or very shortly but - BIG BUT! - if you’d like to download it to keep, you can donate and 100% of proceeds will be going to restaurant relief in Louisiana and North Carolina (more on the details of that later; we’ll post receipts.) 

We had a really good time making this and we hope you like it. Keep your heads up and stay safe.

ALBUM ANNOUNCEMENT! "Tyrannosaurus" Coming 5/31

Oof, I can’t believe I’m finally sharing this: my new album is called Tyrannosaurus, and it will be out Friday, May 31. It will be on all major streaming platforms, and I will be playing a release show that night at Kings in Raleigh with support from my very good friends Janxx, Foxture, and Luxe Posh.

I have a lot more I want to say but I’ll keep it short for now, except to say that this has been about three years of work - easily the longest I’ve ever stuck to one project - and I’m so happy it’s finally almost time to share it with you. I think this is going to sound at least little different from what I’ve done before. The last two weeks I’ve been thrilled with the feedback I’ve received about the single, Know What You Are, but it’s worth mentioning that it’s also not representative of the album; there’s not really one song on the album that is.

Thank you for your support and for hanging in there with me this long while I’ve been figuring this shit out. I can’t wait for you to hear it.
