Somatic co-release…

Somatic has just co-released the single “memory piece” by Cesspool Dreams, my new project with Matt Finney, as a teaser for our upcoming Paper Angels album that they’ll be putting out on cassette & digital formats later this year. They’ll have a teaser track up for that as well soon on their site, but for now, you can get your ears around this standalone piece as a re-introduction to Cesspool Dreams. It’s a cold, stark song–featuring Matt’s unique voice and lovely text. It’s a bit stripped-down and undressed compared to the density of our upcoming Somatic full-length, but it sets the mood, and heralds in the new year after the shitty last one…

Cesspool Dreams…

Cesspool Dreams is a new group featuring Matt Finney and myself. Dark dreams of the future and the past . . . and of the cesspool that we all call home. “memory piece” is an introduction of sorts . . . full-lengths to follow later this year on Somatic Austin and Glossolalia Records. Filth for filth. Enjoy . . .

Clawing’s Living Together & Black

Living Together & Black, the latest latest 2-CD set by my group Clawing, has just been released by the U.K. label Trepanation Recordings. Bleak drone & skeletal guitar figures meet power noise & the haunting spoken word of Matt Finney. Living Together is a deep study of a dissolving relationship (with incredible photography by Gretchen Heinel), while Black finds the group exploring self-isolation and Goya’s last days (cover photography by the awesome Stephen Wilson at Unknown Relic). Digital downloads and orders of the limited 2-CD set are available now!

Clawing double CD preorder

The new Clawing double CD is up for preorder courtesy of the UK’s Trepanation Recordings. This includes both Black & Living Together. This release has been a long time coming, with Living Together specifically going through a few different labels and many forms of attempted censorship, due to its lovely & compelling imagery.

You can preorder the professionally-manufactured double CD featuring both Living Together and Black in 4 panel lancing packaging here. Both albums are available digitally as well.

Thanks again for your time and ears!
