This is my debut album Tower of Babble. The album title is a reference to the Biblical story of the Tower of Babel 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tower_of_Babel
The tower on the album cover is made of tv screens for a reason. The news, major media corporations, popular tech billionaires- are all building their own towers because they want to be portrayed as God. But are these people really god or is this a bunch of talk? Is social media really allowing me to be god of my own universe or is this all babbling? 
Hence the album title name The Tower of Babble

Guitars and bass played by Taylor Northern
Drums played by John Bonham, Adam Carson, Louis Cole, Benny Greb, Dave Grohl, Eric Moore, Buddy Rich, Clyde Stubblefield (see individual tracks for personnel info) 

Recorded on 4 track Tascam tape recorder
