HERE LIES THE LION THAT LIED IN YOUR BED

If I may, I’d like to address my hopes regarding this album. I consider this to be my first true album. I’ve put out 3 EP’s with the Marthas and 3 myself before, but none was a complete idea in the way this is in content and length. I regard my past recordings as analogous to a sketch of various ideas and points in time where as this release is a painting that, for better or worse, was crafted and tested through changing ideas and states of mind. I wanted my first full length to be an acoustic album because it represents to me my most honest and candid songwriting. Though I’ve been playing for a while and have been active in bands, this is essentially the beginning, and I felt that as a beginning it needed to represent my story in its most capably pure form. In addition to my personal motivations, I hope the songs are just enjoyable to anybody who graciously gives an honest listen. For me, an incredible catharsis as some of these have been weighing on me for some time, but really an opportunity to move faster into the future and explore places I haven’t made it to yet- that’s what I’m really looking for.

Thank you enormously for your support and I hope you enjoy this music.
