Oh I know it’s gone forever, but I can’t help but wonder Can’t help but wondering Filth dissolved in rain, like the clouds crashed and we're OK You don't die alone on the road. Too many monsters to take your soul You don't die alone on the road. Just gonna sell everything you know Oh I know it’s gone forever, but I can’t help but wonder Can’t help the wondering Salts like cyanide washing away in the tide Keep this one in my pocket to remind me of younger days when the smoke we saw was dragons evolving in their caves into you and your little sister all alone now in the snow have we become the monsters when we drive away all alone? You don't die alone on the road

Got Time 04:50
When I’m in the road I make it out. When I’m in the road, I make it out Night is falling. Dream so easy. Leaves are falling down Night is falling, dream so easy, leaves are falling now Night is calling. Dream so easy. Leaves are falling down Awoo Waiting, waiting for you Awoooo Waiting, waiting for you… When I’m in the road I make it out. When I’m in the mode, I make it loud Night is falling. Dream so easy. Leaves are falling down Night is falling, dream so easy, leaves are falling now Night is calling. Dream so easy. Leaves are falling down Awoo Waiting, waiting for you Awoooo Waiting, waiting for you…

about

A labor of love. POWERLINES was recorded before the pandemic at Jake Whitecar's Orangutan Sound in Missoula, Montana

It was my first studio recording and I was excited and nervous. I think both of those feelings come through in the songs, which are poppy indie songs with hazy sounds that could almost have been found on a VHS from 1990 except for the futuristic touches here and there

I recorded these songs at a really hard time when I had to go to voice therapy because I had hurt my vocal cords and I was just recovering after a year wondering if I’d ever be able to sing again. I still hadn’t fully recovered during the recording process, but the result is cool because my vocals are a lot breathier than usual. My philosophy is: turn mud into gold whenever possible

This album comes with a beautiful digital lyric book with photos I've taken which fit the atmosphere of this album. It also comes with high quality digital copies of the front and back cover

A physical copy of the album, the lyric booklet, and more can be purchased on the merch section of this page
