My Language 2

Different Route

Better (Prod. EP1SONICS)

The Hard Earth Hexology moves through pressure rather than release. Its songs are built around what people learn to hide—history, grief, complicity, desire for control—and the way those forces continue to act even when they are denied. The writing treats emotion as a physical condition: weight in the body, tension in the jaw, ground underfoot that refuses to shift. Rather than offering confession or resolution, the voice in these songs observes how systems of belief, authority, and intimacy operate quietly, often through tone, silence, and habit. What is suppressed does not disappear; it adapts, resurfaces, and follows. Memory behaves less like narrative and more like geology—layered, compacted, and capable of breaking through without warning.

Sonically, the album sits at the intersection of propulsion and restraint. Rhythmic drive borrowed from electronic music pushes forward while guitars carry grit, twang, and abrasion, grounding the sound in land, motion, and human friction. The genre blend is not decorative but structural: surf and psychobilly tension, blues and country endurance, and techno repetition all serve the same purpose—momentum under pressure. These songs are less about rebellion as spectacle than resistance as posture: staying upright, refusing erasure, and choosing rough edges over polish. The series does not argue or persuade. It stands, listens, and waits, trusting that what holds its shape long enough will eventually be felt.


Some Wounds

A year in the making and I'm excited to say this is by far my best body of work yet. I let my compositions guide me in telling my story. I wanted to be brutally honest with myself and my fans because I know expressing my struggle is the best therapy for myself and the ones listening. No one is alone in this life, we all have a different story but adversity is something we all share.
