I’m currently working on two new albums that will hopefully be released in 2025.

One may be the last 11 batch of songs from “the vault” - these were started between 1998 and 1999. It will be pretty different from the other 4 I’ve put out. Several songs have acoustic guitars and the ones with electric guitars have little to no distortion. They are all influenced by bands like Big Star/Alex Chilton, Wilco and the Flat Duo Jets.

The second one is a re-recording of an album I originally put out in 1993. Like Surly, it was recorded using two tape decks patched together so I could overdub and released on cassette. The Smears played several of the songs, and one was played by the Phoebes. I don’t like making significant edits to things I did in the past, but some of the lyrics for these songs are terrible and embarrassing - trying way to hard to be deep. I was 17, so pretty typical for that age I guess. I will put the original recording on this site after the re-recorded one comes out.
