“Being a Person” video premiere! Thank you to every friend, acquaintance, and complete stranger from all over the place, Poland to Brazil, who took their time, their camera, and their heart and brains to be part of this. You are all amazing. I am a lucky human to have crossed paths with you. I might write a longer post on facebook and instagram in a couple of days with more info on the participants, because quite a few of them make art that you might love as much as I do. Thank you to (in order of appearance): Sophie, Gloria, Nate, Harriet, Sandra, Emily, Christian, Alexander, Maria, Ceschi, Martin, Karli, Simone, Aldous, Mascha, Nathan, Cori, Jill, Adrian, Alexandra, Olga, Leo, Marta, Marlene, Lise, Amrei, Sarah, Kit, Michaela, Franziska, Ellen, Anja, Paulo, Lara, Andy, Julia, Annie, Vita, Malina, Simone, Sven, Josef, Stephen, Regina, Carina, Christopher, Aaron, Chrisi, Ben, Anna, Tobias, Peter, Elena, Ross, Daniela, Joana, Stephanie, and Amadeus. If you like the video, please consider sharing it with people in and outside of the internet. It gets harder and harder to reach people due to the way social media sorts its posts, and community help is priceless and important to anyone making art these days.

Circumnavigation is the first song of 2018. I wrote it last week and first played it at a gig last friday. This is a raw version and hopefully just the first of a series of home sessions that are filmed within two hours and edited within a day.  you can find the lyrics on the vimeo video page!

VIDEO PREMIERE, FRIENDS! Pando Wearing the attire of the wolf king, which is nothing trying to remember where we keep the knives mapping out the way to the kitchen countertop with all eyes shut after midnightfound a piece of evidence that i've been here before i've been truly terrified of every single phone call got a pill box for my demon's baby teeth no matter the wedding dress, i'll wear them underneathI am walking to the bloodshed to get the blood shovel i wanna make friends with the local witch coven if you're happy and you know it, check again when you got enemies like us you don't need friendsdon't you know i heard it through the heart line how much longer do i wait until we're alright? got bad reception in our neck of the woods so maybe they won't find us. good.There are no monsters left under the bed we used their bones to build the thing stuff the mattress with bullet proof vests and next month, just let us sleep in and we lie here in summer, naked and laughing in nights when we're not haunted by ghosts fear is a business and we're self-sufficient our love is a fresnel lens that spins and spins and spins and spins somewhere on the coast.wearing a three-piece suit like the dude on top of the cake wearing sequins that move like leaves we expand like the trembling giant gracefully, trying to get a fucking grip i know i grow nails for a number of reasons i know i lose faith for about the same we claw our way out of the hunting season we're still here and we know all their names we slide the twine through the eye move top to bottom and left to right turn the foxhounds upside down cross borders underground we don't care 'bout no uniform or protocol we grow on both sides of the wall carve your names into our skins a couple of times we don't give a shit, we just multiply.

I am stoked to announce that my 5th full-length album, and 2nd album as Squalloscope, Exoskeletons For Children, will come out in fall 2017 on both Austria-based label Seayou Records, who have been releasing my music since 2006, and U.S. label Fake Four Inc., home to about a dozen of my favorite albums of the last few years. I am planning to play shows both in europe and the united states, so stay tuned. This will be a beautiful thing and I can’t wait to have all of you along for the ride.
