Weatherman

Forward - This is a concept album that tells the story of a nameless character who develops autophobia (the morbid fear of one’s self, or a dread of being alone). The album was originally written and recorded in 2012. Over the next few years, and after the addition of Alex Strahle to the band’s lineup, the final version of this album was written, recorded, and properly finished. The meaning or moral of our album’s story is for you to decide for yourself. It is a story we needed to tell, about a character who is not too unlike ourselves. This character is, and will always be a part of us. To family, friends, and fans who supported us during the creation of this album; thank you. We are eternally grateful and humbled by your love.

Dark Was The Night, Cold Was The Ground (Blind Willie Johnson cover)

The Covid-19 virus is giving everyone a real financial beating right now. We're NOT using this as an opportunity to beg our equally-burdened fans for their money. This song is for YOU, and it's our free gift. That being said, today (3/20/2020) bandcamp is letting us artists keep 100% of our sales profits. If you choose to pay or donate some amount of money for this song, or anything else on our bandcamp page, we will treasure that generosity. We love you guys. Stay positive. Be creative. Don't panic. Don't lose hope.

P.S. This is just a one-off single, not part of our new album. We recorded it in one day, in Alex's apartment. We might do more like this. Who knows what a quarantine may lead to... Hope ya dig. <3
