we drove forever under the darkest nights i’d ever seen and i came to, through the cold sweat of a fever dream it’s usually the alcohol that really gets us talking this warm embrace became a shell an abandoned house we wore ourselves out in but i tried it, i tried we drove together in the hardest silence i’d ever heard and i came to, on the last ride home that we endured you bottled me up so that you could distill me this warm place became a hell a burning house we tore ourselves down in but i tried it, i tried we tried it, we tried

about

i've always been a collaborator, finding space for my expression in other people's work. the opportunity to be in that space with others brings immense joy and meaning to my life. there is no feeling like the sense of pride that comes with the mind and heart meld of making art with people you love.

this EP represents a long process of learning to be happy alone. its about letting go and going forward. and, its about coming back around.
