Funny, an EP, a Portland show, and merch news
Hello!
I am writing from Barcelona, nearing the end of a long and beautiful tour of the UK and Europe opening for Gracie Abrams. I have news about new music, a Portland show, and some merch to tell you about.
My song 'Funny' came out yesterday!
My EP End Of The World comes out November 10, and preorders for the EP on vinyl (yes vinyl!) are now open.
Presave the EP and you could win merch!
Tickets are on sale for my EP Release Show in Portland Nov 16.
I made Guard Dog T-Shirts and you can buy them.
Details below...
'Funny' came out yesterday.
It took me over two years and a lot of convincing to even consider releasing this song. Part of my resistance to finishing it came from feeling like I’ve been writing about the same things over and over again for years now. The song is essentially about anxiety and the things you repeat to yourself to try and get out of that anxiety, which is a theme of a lot of the songs on my upcoming EP. I think the reason I keep writing about the same feelings over years of my life is the same reason my songs keep resonating for people: I have not figured everything out and neither has anyone else.
I guess it’s comforting as both the writer and the listener to be reminded of that.
My EP End Of The World comes out Nov. 10.
It’s six tracks totaling 33 minutes. Here's the track list:

I have more than enough
Collector
Funny
End Of The World
I Can And I Will
AND ... there will be vinyl! My darling label, Matt Maltese’s Last Recordings On Earth, is pressing End Of The World on 12" swamp green transparent vinyl. If you want a copy pre-ordering is recommended! It will ship February 16, 2024.
