New Sincerity rejects postmodern irony, detachment, and cynicism, instead pursuing direct expression, vulnerability, and emotional resonance. This concept embodies a return to seriously and openly exploring one's emotions and the fundamental nature of things, without unnecessary, contrived meanings.

Near Future

Hilo (pron. hē-lō) is a soundtrack of transformation, of leaving who one is in order to become who one needs to be.

In 2014, my life was turned upside down when I learned I had been adopted. Everything I thought I knew about my origin was untrue, a fabrication. As an artist, I began to produce music that became an audio description of my life during this experience, from thoughts and feelings of levity and absurdity, to despair and prolapse. All the elevated emotions are documented here.

To make sense of this surprise life turn and thrive, I had to face the experience of dying while being alive, becoming reborn while trying to hold dearly to whom I'd been. All the while, I gave the experiences within my head a voice through music.

Hilo is named for the town and airport on the island of Hawaii where I first landed to meet my birth father's family. All of the tracks here were begun and edited on airplanes and trains, fitting the transformational aspects of this journey.

Art is identity. I couldn't release this album without giving the listener context for it. What you hear is the inner dialogue of adventure, illumination, anxiety, and facing a terrifying yet ultimately beautiful unknown. 

This is my story, but it is also a narrative--as old as Greek mythology--of anyone or group who has faced crisis and survived, emerging galvanized and more spiritually complete.

Allow me to take you on a ride.

Thank you: Nick Garcia for his excellent mixing and mastering assistance. Guest vocalist collaborators, John Thornley, Ameer Dyson, Bernard Farley, Rachel Wong, Patrick Baker, Brittany Sims, Alex Tebeleff, and Abbay Misganaw for giving voice to the yearning and searching aspects of these songs. My family and friends, especially Mallory, for priceless feedback and for standing with me throughout the highs and lows of this crazy experience that have came together to form this album.

Stray Fantasies

Mint Julep - "Escape"

Lakes

Dayswimming

"We made this song during covid, so it has those emotional swoops and valleys of both good and bad whirling it’s way around the song.
It is obviously a straight up love song, and I wrote it with elements of beauty, intimacy, time and ownership of the beloved as the main legs of the song.
The sub current, as for a lot of things I write about deals with intensity and excessive hyperbolic intimacy and 12th century hermit emotions.

Sometimes we hear the song and it seems to us like a soft kiss on a lightning storm island.
And then the metadata comes roaring through and it's almost also a song about a homicidal train wreck, or like a crystal vase being dropped in slow motion.
It also, can be all things at once."
