For the past 6 months or so I’ve been out here all alone, teaching myself how to live without any answers, learning how to create safety in the midst of whatever dangerous-feeling bullshit happens to be swirling about at any given time, playing dress-up happy agate beach babies with the tiny animal, breathing the ocean air every single day, and dealing with an endless stream of outdoors-related tiny house van life dramas while I chase this ever-elusive peace I’ve truly only ever read about in books.

I’m not hiding. I have quit the world.

When I come back — and I AM coming back sometime soon — I will be there because I actually want to be; and because I miss you. ❤️

We are 3 months into the My Movie Star release and it’s clear that people either completely love this weird, quiet piano record and are already mid-process wearing out the vinyl, or they fuckin’ hate it and either refuse to listen or just never made it past song 5 before breaking the vinyl over their knee.

There doesn’t seem to be much in-between this round, both critically and commercially, which I’m good with. Love me or hate me, feature the album or ignore it, these songs are my best work in 20 years, hands down.

I’m so proud of this record, all thanks to everyone who gave everything they had to this project; And to those of you who have bought the album and followed me here, I know we are a long way from those strange dance floors where we first met. The world has changed and so have I. Thank you for still being here. I see you dancing, sweethearts.

The My Movie Star Deluxe Double Disc Edition is out now on vinyl, CD and digital download wherever music is streamed and sold. Pick one up from Bandcamp and I’ll sign it for you, personalize it for a friend, or turn it into a unique piece of hatemail for someone you would like to simply torture with my voice
