Wild Bones
New song & countdown to The Drake
TL;DR: New song here and please come to our album release show at The Drake on Feb 20th with Lost Film and Two Wrong Turns. <3
Dearest,
I started writing this message three different times but life, you know? Surprise water pouring in the ceiling from ice dams. Surprise ER trip for grandma. Surprise fighting with insurance companies and bureaucracy and wait as I say that part out loud I take it back there is quite literally no surprise there.
I write with news though even as I write this sentence the dog is barking to be let back inside. There is always a timer going off, a calendar reminder, a list of things I forgot to do, letters that didn’t get mailed. Coffee but no coffee filters. That kind of thing. Depending on the level of resilience I can locate in any given moment it will make or break me.
Too stubborn to stop, here I am again. So let’s get on with it…
There are two things I have been meaning to tell you. First is that we released another song off our EP. It is called Wild Bones. It is full of poets and manic panic. It makes this hat from Good Shirts hit a little too hard.
It is a song that got its own inspo board when I was feeling canva literate.
The second is that our album release show at The Drake is a little over a week away on Friday, Feb 20th. We would truly love to see you and it would mean a lot if you came out in the midst of this coldest winter in like 20 years.
In my better moments I’ve been considering lighting all my money on fire (aka: starting a community arts center or something). In my worst moments I’ve generated an embarrassing amount of screen time. I regularly delete IG from my phone and I did away with TikTok finally (farewell to the best drug I ever took). My medium moments take me back to the start of this message. Life is mostly just timers going off in between news about ICE, a barely functional Congress and too many celebrity deaths that occupy a lot of space in my head. That said, I do have some songs about that general feeling in the bank so should time ever find me or us again perhaps we will make another record.
But before we do we need to release this one. So I suppose the final thing to say is that Evasive Sentimental comes out in its entirety on Feb 20th as well. We did take the risk of making vinyl so should you want to hold music in your hands because the tech broligarchy is made up of war mongers and billionaires, you can. Pre-order the EP here.
I hope you are taking care of yourselves and each other. We are the only ones who get ourselves out of this and we only do it together by building something new while the old thing burns. Harm reduction is the name of the game.

PS: My BFF is helping get this Twin Cities ICE relief fund off the ground so if you’ve been feeling overwhelmed by everything and wanting to send money somewhere but unsure where to send it this is a sure bet. We will donate a portion of any $$ we make at our album release show here as well. <3
