about

These are a collection of tracks from over the last five years. It took five years for them to make sense together. The whiteness infiltrated the notes outlined by blackness- as the world has been colonized by Americana. And the pieces themselves deal with common American themes that have been glamorized in the movie (our reality) the rest of the world watches as cinema - in horror and disbelief. Holster- a story about a shooting at a party from different perspectives. February- contextualizing a spiritual fight amidst the complexities of a relationship. Lockjaw- a celebration of the seven deadly sins, our inhumanities that sell ironically get people ahead. Forever- a want for overcoming setbacks, a cry to live in a place that isn’t built for us. Interim - a ‘meanwhile’ moment that never really ends- a battle of the people and their screams being the soundtrack for 400 years of oppression.
