First single, "Moss Agate" off J. Ashdown's debut tape on Crude Tapes, "Shape Unto Itself".

Floaty, weighty, mysterious humanistic music.  Formless breath pulsing makes the form, like a heart beating under the ice's surface.

All music by Jared Miller Ashdown
Artwork by Isabella Haid
Mastered by Patrick Walker

To be released November 14th, 2025 on Cassette and Digital Worldwide.
