Sometimes The Moon Hides Behind Clouds

The Mental Straights is my musical ramblings on a plate. From dirty fuzz pop to anarchic and wacky , to punk to funk. But all laced with the same DNA.
And it's all old school...no computer trickery, just play and record and go.

Well, we made it halfway through 2025!
 Not very much has changed here in Dungeon of Doom Studio. I will still continue to put out honest music, created right here by me, through the last half of the year. I have a few new ideas in the works, some heavy and some not (maybe even a couple with vocals) which I will finish putting together and release in the coming months. 
Thanks for following me and checking out my music, stay tuned!
You can find me on Youtube and Instagram from the links below. Take care.

Thanks for listening and commenting.

Also, I collaborated with The Old School for a 6 part series on Vlad III, also widely known as Vlad the Impaler.

If you have the time and want to check it out, go on over to https://soundcloud.com/ldchool.  Also collaborated on two songs with The Boiler Man.  His link is down below with some other wonderful artists who have also been highly supportive since I’ve been on SoundCloud:

Me, myself, and I, have a band that plays in the garage with a microphone on a cardboard box. Words and songs echo. Enjoy and share.

Short Note: Music friends & fellow musicians: We love you and the original works you put out and share on SoundCloud and other platforms. Thank you very, very much for supporting our art as we do indeed wish to support yours!

-The Cannibal Fae Of Waking Dream (Lyra Daydream & Eurithia Tachinidae)

I'm the keyboardist, and one of two songwriters and vocalists for the project "Waking Dream" in NYC, also nicknamed "Cannibal Fae. I love being a part of this project. It is my life and I love what we're doing with it.  Thank you to everyone who has been supportive of what we're doing and just know that it is appreciated. 

Most of our music surrounds themes of fantasy, theories of death and usually political nihilism, mentalism, and bouts' of darkness and poetry rolled into whatever gothic spiral of nonsense we can concoct.

Thank you Lyra Daydream! You are a beautiful person and spirit. I think we will be doing this together for a long, long time.

Your support and all you've done for me as a band mate and a friend is worth more than most things in life.
