Press Week
Press week sounds like a real thing, but (in this context, at least) it’s just me realizing I’ve been in the papers more this past week than most.

Mid Recording at Analog Road: LIKE A MOTH
Like a grandfather clock, every Wednesday from 10am some facet of LIKE A MOTH resounds from Anzac Road. Unlike a grandfather clock, it often continues for 5, 6, 7, 8 hours. I secretly hope that the private studio’s neighbors are suitably melancholic, romantic, indignant, or horny such that the music of the day isn’t completely…

Hiriwa’s Encore
The past couple weeks have been a blur between Girls Rock Detroit Summer Camp and a series of shows in Auckland. And while everything moved ahead as planned (and I do plan to debrief on those and the remaining July shows), they took a back seat in my mind as a friend and colleague, guitarist…
