Agnostic Electric Gospel - Chill, sutra psychedelia

AEG was written in preparation for my trip to Nepal where it was debuted live. My goal was to create an album of music about love without referencing religion or romance.

It's a solo album. I play the electric guitar and sing, with a plethora of effects units. There is looping on both guitar and vocals, and I developed a tactic of tapping a piece of metal against the pickups in order to loop a rhythm on some songs.

Much of this album comes directly from the sutras I was creating for myself during a time of healing. The sutras changed my life, and I hope they inspire you too.

storm comin near
halfway home and the sun is long gone, morning comes quick but the work goes slow, night as dark as a tree shadow : sun’s afeared of the storm comin near, but the wind’s running wild with the furry of a child, up from the waters the storm’s comin here : old man sippin on a brown bag beer, waitin for the bus to appear, skin as dark as a tree shadow

storm comin near

you so cold
oh tana why are you so cold, you don’t feel anything when others fold : oh tana why are you so cold, you don’t feel anything when others fold, when your old man breaks down and cries, you turn to stone right before his eyes, you tell him everything will be all right, but your arm around him is cold as ice : chorus : oh tana why are you so cold you don’t feel anything when others fold, when he gets scared and holds you tight, you try but fail to sympathize, even a man is a boy sometimes, weakness is a part of life
