the killing card


"What about dignity?
You will die, and when you die, you will know a profound lack of it. It's never dignified, always brutal. What's dignified about dying? It's never dignified. And in obscurity? Offensive. Dignity is an affectation, cute but eccentric, like learning French or collecting scarves. And it's fleeting and incredibly mercurial. And subjective. So fuck it." - David Eggers
My next record will be done on August 2nd. It then needs to be mastered and pressed so it seems set for a fall release. It's tentatively titled "The Killing Card" and will be a dual label release for both Pigeon Records and Lucky Creature Records. The majority of the subject matter is about my severe hypochondria that only one person I know helps me through. A couple songs about an old friend who remains a black cloud. And one written in tribute to Elliott Smith.
