glimpse 02:43
a stray dog lived at the bottom, on the windshield, in the garden, a desperate god, will blame the fallen, and bite it's own heels to keep from ordinary life, like mine, to decide what to do, with an open mind, in the silence i had caught you, just a glimpse of your eye you wreak of something rotten, something evil, from the bottom of forgotten songs, we sang, through the night, with the stars, all above you, opened wide, through the night, with the light, all inside you, would you open mine, to decide, what i should do, without the light in your eyes to see me through..

*hold on, i dropped my pick Brittany knew that she was different from the others, never played at recess, with homework never bothered, at home with all the rejects, her sisters and her brothers, she never had to impress, a family to each other now Brittany got a tattoo, a cobweb and spider, She's resting well this Sunday, the New Year was a biter, got to make it home before sunrise, and god don't let me fold before their eyes

ragtime wars 02:07
out here on life's open highway, under sun and moon and stars, mirages and mirrors and it's only Monday, i'm witness here to the ragtime wars and there's so much potential, it oozes from you you got so much potential, it's oozing out of you...

high dreams 05:02
mangum had it right when he said we all would die mangum had it right daniel took a ride at night into the sky where the forest was on fire and dreaming just got higher in the sky there ain't no end in sight and there's nowhere left to hide with a broken mind behind the friendly little pieces inside inside your mind hey little creature don't think i won't eat ya i'm hungry for you, i got nothing to do i made a little feature, don't think i can't reach ya i'm ugly for you and i got something to prove

you stuck me with a bully, who had two feet in the water, and the family, washed before me in the backseat under the motor, it started with you laughing and the echoes were getting louder between the pilot and the great beast, you're the only spell i'm under you stabbed me in the belly, with your clean freaks and your wonder and then emptied out the repeats over households beneath the water

silent signs 03:23
silent silent signs, i never thought you'd get out alive a silence i could not survive and the ocean is set inside of me the very moment you realize you're free and if erosion has me slipping into the sea well who am i to upset it, who am i but a name i know i'd live to regret it but i'll tell you all just the same it's violence son we hit a home run you got it made oh but who am i to admit it we spend our time inside silent signs

new life 01:58
in the silence of the morning when the darkness runs for the roots, a new life comes from mud, in the garden, i could share all this you... gardens closed down after me and leveled mountains as far as the eye could see and on that site we gave our lives in the silence of the morning when the darkness comes for the youth, a new life drinks the blood, in the garden, where all our dreams come true

opposite 03:02
where do i begin give them a choice and they only want the opposite give them a choice and they only want it now give them a voice and they only use their mouths to spit give them a choice and they only want it now can you feel it deep inside where i died? sing them a song and they talk and talk right through your set sing them a song but don't sing it too loud sing them a song it don't matter if the words don't fit sing them a song because NOW NOW NOW suffering and accepting, count your blessings, what's that feeling all over me an offering still pending, and now who am i offending... the kids took it from me i followed the morning, i fled from the night, i'm sorry i missed you, just follow the light sometimes i see it, i can't believe it , i think i still love you...

about

'crawlspace' began production in december 2020. i wanted to make an album for the new spaces, big and small, i am occupying in this new life. i recently moved back to portland and am lucky enough to have a little spot in my room to continue my musical journey.

fans of diy, indie, lo-fi, bedroom music will enjoy the effort put into this collection. sometimes world music, sometimes indie garage pop, other times formulaic yet unpredictable. it has a little bit of everything because i tend to draw from all the things i love in music, no matter the genre. i also rely on spontaneity and improv a lot. i find that when i follow my musical instincts good things can happen.

this collection is as dark as it is allowed to cast a shadow by the light of it's own subtleties and blemishes. it is a nostalgia leaning into the shrinking night.

this is my first album of 2021.

thanks for supporting.

big thank you to sam dinkowitz for letting me kidnap his K2000-V3 Kurzweil Keyboard for the past few months. it definitely had an influence on the music, my imagination and allowed me the confidence to experiment a bit more than usual and step outside the box. the thing is amazing.
