home is where the horror is

My new record "Thaw" is out now!

In January of this year, I spent 31 days without wifi at an artist residency in the Finnish countryside. In the long Finnish winter nights, often before and after hours-long visits to the sauna out back in the yard with fellow residents, I made an eight-track record called "Thaw", based on field recordings from the residency buildings, as well as the surrounding landscape. In addition to the myriad of recorded noises, used the instruments available to me in the recording space (a guitar, a stage piano) and my voice, and wrote lyrics that seem to be mostly about what you cannot see in the pitch black dark of the forest behind the house, as well as what you see very clearly in the company of people who you just met, but quickly consider friends. I won't lie, I made this record mostly for them, but I am lucky enough to be able to share it with you as well. Enjoy. Let something thaw.

I'm the copy of a copy of a copy of a woman, you're the copy of a copy of a copy of a guy, but the way we behave towards each other makes me think that even this could be a lie.
