    Already Dead Tapes was kind enough to press a small batch of cassettes for Where The Music Goes To Die. They come with a free download card. So if you don't have access to a cassette player you can still listen to the album digitally. With a finely made alternative album cover designed by the brilliant Elise Powell, this high quality cassette is a really neat piece of merchandise. A cool keepsake for you, and you'll get that warm almost-sickening glow that accompanies helping out a struggling artist like myself. Seriously... I could use the money. You don't wanna know. It's bleak..

    Includes unlimited streaming of Where The Music Goes To Die via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics

I hope your life is a canvas
with every kind word the stroke of
some artist’s brush.

I hope your body’s a campus,
educating the young and
eager populace.

I hope your heart is a planet,
dancing in the ballet
of gravitational trust.

I hope you never understand this
mesmerizing and painful
Universe.

And I can’t tell which came first:

This great ocean or this Great Thirst

Could you tell me which came first?

The master thief or The Woman’s purse?

I just can’t tell which came first…

And here I am,
I am emptying myself.
This is greater than any trophy
you could fit on your shelf.

And there you are,
you are emptying yourself.
This is greater than any trophy
I could fit on my shelf

And here we are,
we are emptying ourselves.
This is greater than any trophy
we could fit on our shelves.

It’s just us, ourselves.

I think, all things considered, the songs I write are much more listenable than the songs I don't write.
