I was revisiting this SLDGHMR song recently (throwback to 2012). It was the first time I tracked vocals on a song that wasn’t LAVOLA and I’m still really pleased with the result. The lyrics, as briefly explained to me by the SLDGHMR dudes, are about feeling disenchanted by the state of music (or perhaps music, […]
Hey guys, I wanted to briefly check in and let you know that Em and I are in 1 piece (and fully rested). More importantly, I want to thank you for making Summer of Cowardice an amazing experience for us. Finally meeting you peeps in person after years of support was truly special. Seeing familiar […]
Emily & I performing an acoustic rendition “I’m Leaving Paris” followed by an interview live on WPRK 91.5 FM. This is Emily’s favorite LAVOLA song (and one of mine, as well).

On a seemingly unrelated note, I believe that any gig that begins with a trail […]
