Woot! About to release my next EP, Single Girls, in June. This has been a long time coming and I'm thrilled to share some tracks with you already.
Single Girls was produced by the amazing Bill Lefler and features guest vocals by Butterfly Boucher and Cary Brothers.
The drums were played lovingly by Blair Sinta.
The bass was caressed by Joe Karnes.
The guitars and various other stringed wonders were tickled by Ben Peeler.
All the cello bliss was provided by Jen Khun.
Horns were blasted by Jon Titterington.
Coffee and general good atitude were provided by me.

The previous Trauma EP was produced by the brilliant Rob Giles and recorded in a canyon. with coyotes.

you want me to come play in your town? Demand it!

Be helpless, dumbfounded,
Unable to say yes or no.
Then a stretcher will come from grace
to gather us up.

We are too dull-eyed to see that beauty.
If we say we can, we’re lying.
If we say No, we don’t see it,
That No will behead us
And shut tight our window onto spirit.

So let us rather not be sure of anything,
Beside ourselves, and only that, so
Miraculous beings come running to help.
Crazed, lying in a zero circle, mute,
We shall be saying finally,
With tremendous eloquence, Lead us.
When we have totally surrendered to that beauty,
We shall be a mighty kindness.

-Rumi
