Kay's Special

"March winds, you keep blowing, and keep our kite floating." 

Third installment of 'Monthly Journal' living album project.
The cover picture is an inverted image that came together while killing time with matches on a table at a cafe in Amsterdam while on tour in the Netherlands duringthe first week of March. Just as I took the photo someone opened the door and a wind blew it all apart.

Laura Groves - Infinite Wisdom

Break my shell 
I know what you will find 
Oh no, no

Cut my chest 
Not sure if you can bear 
The view of a tame wild pain 

Sparkling marbles drawn by 
Light and sticky sadness 
I won't go 


All these things must pass 
Take what you can and then run 


Pass me through 
Not sure if you will find 
A cure for this painful soul 

Sparkling marbles drawn by 
Light and sticky sadness 
I won't go 

I can feel that sweetish taste

All these things must pass 
Take what you can and then run 

All these things must pass 
Take what you can and then run

Now you got nothing to say
Now that the vessel has sunk
Do you still treasure my
Silver circle
The Second Circle

Sinking, Sinking,
But you won't drown, 
Won't drown, won't drown.


Even the Island is sinking,
I'll turn into a constellation

Second Circle, let me leave
Second Circle, let me leave

Goodbye, my lover 
Goodbye, my lover
Let me leave

Goodbye, my lover
Goodbye, my lover
Let me leave

Goodbye, my lover
Goodbye, my lover
Let me leave

Goodbye, my lover
Goodbye, my lover 
Let me leave

Second Circle

A tribute track for a very dear friend who returned to the æther far too early, explorer extraordinaire Matt Audrain, who once took us down to the underbelly of Paris, the Catacombs, through its drowned galleries and its ossuaries, for a memorable session. 
In my heart, always.

"Leftfield troubadour from New York City known for making his own instruments. Inventive and Romantic" -TimeOut

UNCUT magazine says "Truax is shaping up nicely as one of the great rock eccentrics."

 His evolving 'band' of self-made sound sculptures include a motorized drum machine made of bike wheels called 'Mother Superior' and a souped up Gramophone called 'The Hornicator'.

He crafts rich, poetically evocative songs about insects, trees, technology, and a lifelong obsession with things lunar, including various reasons 'Why Dogs Howl at The Moon'. His nine studio LPs include highly-rated covers album 'Songs From The Films Of David Lynch'.  

Other notable supporters and collaborators have included Jarvis Cocker, Duke Special, James Konopinski Smith of Yard Act, Richard Hawley, Bob Log III, the Dresden Dolls and the late author Terry Pratchett. Currently he’s finishing off a 2022 album release that features drummer Budgie of the Slits, Siouxsie & The Banshees et al.


On Soundcloud in 2011, The Monthly Journal album was a living, mutating organism taking place in twelve intervals over a year. Tracks were informed by any number of things: the vibe, feeling, texture, atmosphere of the changing seasons, the expanding and contracting lengths of days and nights, weather, news, dreams, personal or world events as they unfolded. Songs were produced and released within the window of each month.
