A psychedelic track with indie rock leanings, and hip hop beats.

TiC ToC(there's a brand new clock)

A track about seeing yourself in someone else, which allows you to see your own flaws, but also allows you to embrace the truth.

URMe (IMU)

Influenced by 80s wave, post punk and synth pop, Shadow Flowers is a tribute to Alternative clubs like Seattle’s “The Vogue”, “The Mercury (Machine Works)”, Portland’s “Coffin Club”, and Vancouver Canada’s “Luv Affair” and the people that made these clubs special.

Shadow Flowers

Inspired by the dramatics and emotion of the 2016 election year, and questioning the validity of the news we hear?  

Vocals, backing guitar, and Production by Haakon V. Latvala
Lead guitar by Sullivan Burkart
Live drums by Kalevi Burkart

Heroes Or Villains? (demo)

A modern look at the primitive base instincts of desperate people with just enough bass to ruin your carpet.  Big beats, funky guitar line, and the story of that ego that gets in trouble.

The White Spider!

A nod to Britpop and psychedelic groove rock.  This song asks if you'll ever be satisfied with your own dreams, or do you need to somehow match other people's level of success?

My Dream

No Tank you, is a protest song, that started around 2016 as an idea and a painting.  After the president gassed peaceful Black Lives Matter protestors and threatened violence, the lyrics came together. We can't have heavily armored police and military attacking peaceful protests.
"No Tank you, we don't need you, to have tanks in our streets. We march for justice and peace, and liberty.  Thank you for your service...don't point your turrets at me."

No Tank You (lofi)

Warzone was produced with MC Class in about 94-95, with Don Randolph on Bass. It was inspired by everything going on around the world at the time, and almost ending up in the military myself.  Some of the lyrics are still relevant today, although, I have a different view on professional sports.  Main reason, was being involved with Project Hangtime, which was an after school program for "at-risk" youth that provided teens with free snacks and a safe place to be after school. Hangtime was sponsored by The Seattle Supersonics, and I hope that pro sports franchises support these type of programs now and in the future.

Another Planet

War Zone (featuring Earthchild)

Proving you can soar to new heights while standing still, this song was inspired by the writer meeting the Dali Lama twice in random situations. More party than political, there's a message somewhere between Love and the void.

The Himalayas

A song about the frustration and anger that comes with getting parking tickets.  The sound is influenced by early punk bands like the Ramones, Stooges, and The New York Dolls.

Parking Police

Protest song, that started as artwork around 2016 with the rise of a president spreading prejudice, fear, and lies.  The lyrics were finished shortly after the president gassed and bullied peaceful protestors for a photo op in front of a church.
