I Plan To Record a New Album in About 6 Weeks.
14 songs, coming in at around 40 minutes total. (Unless something changes.) I’d set a recording date for next week but my go-to man (Brian Speaker) lives in Germany and will not be here until April.

More Antifolk Questions Answered
“Would you use the word nostalgia looking back at Sidewalk days?” Well, if someone is looking back nostalgically, that would be that. If they are looking back in a detached, perhaps clinical way, then it would not. I don’t claim to have never indulged in nostalgia, though generally I see it as a weakness, not … Read More
Answer to a Question About Sidewalk
“If one listens to your song Sidewalk (which is an incredible song in many ways), this era seems to have been an important one in your life. If so, in what ways? If not – why not?” Thank you for the compliment. This answer will have to be quite broad in scope, and very limited. … Read More
