    Normally, I don't print CDs because it's 2017 and all... But I had these CDs printed in order to ship out to press, and I had a few leftover. Elise Powell did a wonderful job on the artwork. Only a few available, so if you're interested, get one now, before they sell out!

  • Cassette + Digital Album

    Already Dead Tapes was kind enough to press a small batch of cassettes for Tambaleo. 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 artwork 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..

lyrics

Judas was all alone
when he called me on the telephone
and told me about the pain that he had caused.

About Mary's face
when her son was torn apart.

How all the silver in the world
couldn't mend her heart.

I wasn't sure of just what to say,
I felt like I was in his way.
Like all the answers that he sought were inside himself.

Like sickness is the cure to unwholesome health.
Like poverty is the purest form of wealth.

Sometimes love is quieter than pain.
Sometimes love radiates like the heat of a summer night.
Sometimes love is a silent walk of shame.
Sometimes love shines forth like the one, true holy light.
And sometimes love simply has no name.

Buddha sat perfectly still
and thought about his brother Phil,
he thought about how strange he felt that day,
when Brother Phil was found floating in a lake.
He realized then that nothing truly stays the same.

This Universe presents itself.
A cosmic game of show and tell.
I stumble through infinite space with you.
Exchanging hopes and fears for hesitation wounds.
Covering up my heart with convenient truth.

Sometimes love is quieter than pain.
Sometimes love radiates like the heat of a summer night.
Sometimes love is a silent walk of shame.
Sometimes love shines forth like the one, true holy light.
And sometimes love simply has no name.

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