“LET’S JUST GET THROUGH THIS”: Two unreleased tracks out now
My 2019 album Tyrannosaurus is two years old today, and to celebrate, I'm dropping an unreleased track from it!
Let’s Just Get Through This was a track originally meant for Tyrannosaurus, but one I realized fairly early on wasn’t a good fit on that album. I’ve played it live often since then but never released it, and I figure since today is the birthday of the album it was almost on, why not now? I’ve packaged it with a second version no one’s heard yet, which my friend Casey Battle lent his talents to last summer. This feels like a nice way to tie up the longest stretch of work I’ve done so far.
You can download it for free here on this website, or stream it on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, Tidal, Soundcloud, and all other major platforms.
The next thing you’ll be hearing from me will be a new single from the new EP - see you then.
Mexican Standoff: 10th Anniversary Re-Release Out Now
Ten years ago today I released Mexican Standoff, my first single as Animalweapon. I’m celebrating by re-releasing a four-track single with: the version that appeared on my first album Good Luck remastered by Brandon at Steelhouse Mastering, the original very poorly-mixed and -mastered version that came out in 2010, and two super dope new remixes by my ride or die friends Neo Obsidian (with whom I did this year’s split EP, Time Enough) and MVRKHNTR. My go-to artwork guy Blake T. Brady has also gorgeously reimagined the original single’s artwork. You can get it in all the usual places - Spotify, Apple Music, every other streaming platform, or right here on this website.
It’s insane how fast a decade has flown by and I’m proud of myself for still being at it with more to come. Also crazy to think at the time I put this out it was my “electronic side project” to my honestly terrible acoustic coffee house stuff (forgot about THAT pretty quick.) I’ve come a long way, made a lot of progress and written better material since this first came out, but I’m still really proud of this song.
Thanks again for your support over the last ten years. It means more than I can ever express.

New Single: Summer's Over
My brand new single, Summer’s Over, is out NOW on all streaming platforms and on my website.
Pretentious context: This is a song I started a year ago but didn’t get to the lyrics for until this summer and I wrote them for this moment. A little different from what you’re used to from me, but I needed to write something about this unspeakably cruel time of our lives in a couple short verses, alongside a simple piano and some found sound. There may not be a right way to adequately sum that up or do justice to what we've all been through, but I hope that it will connect with people.
Thank you guys for listening and for your support. I’ve got more music on the way (starting Sunday with the re-release of my first song, Mexican Standoff, for its tenth anniversary - a couple of GREAT new remixes along with it) and I am working on a new EP for next year. I hope that when it comes out I’ll be able to play a real live show for you guys in person but in the meantime I’ll be live streaming a set TONIGHT on Twitch where I’ll do this song for the first time, as well as something else you probably haven’t heard.
Finally: shoutout to Reybee PR for welcoming me and Polychromatic Records aboard - press release from them to follow.
