hallo loves,
greetings from sydney. i’ve just set up a recording session in tasmania (i’m there soon) – i’m going to record one new song i’ve got brewing and one surprise jherek-quartet cover, because we can’t stop. and, tasmania. i’ve never recorded in tasmania.
$3+ patrons: watch your inboxes for download code AND $10 folks…watch also for webcast information ! webcast is TOMORROW/THE DAY AFTER depending where you are: 10 am wednesday in sydney, which means 4 pm tuesday New York time).
my dear dears. i’ve had this song, a lush many-layered soup of vocals and drunken piano that i recorded in boston during a long one-day session, sitting in the vault for over two years.
waiting for a good moment. that moment is now…it’s mid-winter, post-election, and everybody i know is struggling to some extent to not tune out and drown themsleves in the proverbial cocktail glass of death.
the team and i put together a project page for the song on my site…with the help of jason webley, who, along with a dead woman named maragret, inspired the whole thing…you’ll see why. it was recorded and mixed (just me, no band, no jherek) before i was pregenant.
as you’ll note in the post: i didn’t write the lyrics.
margaret did.
there’s also a very wet, trippy video to aid your listening experience, co-directed by julie atlas muz and karl giant and edited by michael mcquilken, i’m making it available on vimeo only for maximum hi-res trip.
everything is on the project page, go read!!

i love you all, here’s to cleaning out the crypt and making room for all the art that is currently being compsted in australia, and mostly:
thank you all for your support of all that i do.
it means everything to me…and to others. your patronage on this project paid about twenty artists, engineers, actors, editors (and babysitters).
let’s make more.
