about

This album was mainly recorded between March and June of 2020. I wanted to capture the feelings I was feeling and the terror at the beginning of the COVID pandemic. Going outside and going to the supermarket in Brooklyn was like a zombie hunt. So scary. If you are reading this before life is back to some sort of normal, PLEASE WEAR A MASK and act responsibly. Thanks to all the front-line workers who have risked their lives. Let us never forget the lives we lost.

This is also a fiercely political record, given our times.

Slow Dance

A beautiful masterpiece of a record combining power-pop with an emotional edge. There isn't a bad song here. Pop craft doesn't get much better or more appealing. The Slums of Mediocrity
