brand new music - last of the optimists

‘Seed Water Sun’ is an album of hope and resilience. These songs do not shy away from the troubles of our times but we can’t always rage. We also need the salve, the antidote, the solace so we can mourn our losses, heal our souls, and get back out there. The album spans the age old influences of Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits, and the transcendentalists while simultaneously embracing the future sounds heralded in by Phoebe Bridgers and Julian Baker. My hope is that these words help chart the path from rage to reconciliation, from wallowing to action, from mourning to healing, from dissonance to a rare moment of peace.
