The initial orders blew out my expectations, especially considering it’s been so long since I released a project or even posted on social media at all… and I put it out with no singles…

A few things about what’s coming next…

When I first announced the project a little over a month ago I mentioned wanting to make it available first with no spoilers, context, or previews to allow people the opportunity to be surprised by a new piece of art without any prior expectations... (and some of you took me up on the offer!)

Now that people have had a chance to order the book and album, I’ll start releasing previews…

All I ask is that you bear with a bit of repetition and self-promotion... I wanted to give my first release in so many years some prestige and buildup…

I appreciate all the support so far, and if it continues to go so well, my hope is to keep doing independent projects like this that take big swings on format, style, scale, and subject matter in collaboration with talented artists…

and it’d be great to help other artists publish their own work…

or put together collections to showcase the diverse styles and perspectives of people I’ve had the pleasure of meeting and working with over the years from around the world…

So if you’re still on the fence about buying the book and music...

Keep an eye/ear out for previews between now and when the full album is on streaming platforms in March 2024…

The book and album are available here

The first single will be on streaming platforms December 15th...

And if you already bought Fruitless...
