Feast
The first thing I did in 2020 was drop FEAST, my third LP (following PILOT SEASON and SWEET DREAMS.) These were my last memories before Covid.

FEAST is a 21 course omakase, of sorts. A cacophonous mashup of elaborate, long-form ideas I’d been noodling on during my almost ten years in Cali.
Made with, by and for friends, FEAST was an epic collaboration across my vast network of musicians. I owe particular thanks to Dave (Rosser, from NickyDavey, whom first played for me on the opening track of PILOT SEASON) and Meredith (Wilson, whom I met when we were making RIGHT NOW!) These two talented musicians were the house band for the album.
FEAST is a rich and sometimes chaotic work. Before streaming, a project like this would only fit on an oldschool double disc. I was taking inspiration from this idea that some pieces aren’t finished until you’ve run out of paint.
