  • Wings (live)

    From January 14, 2024. This was originally titled "Imaginal Discs", which is the scientific term for the part of a caterpillar that survives when it morphs into a butterfly. While I like the name and how it fits the song, it’s also confusing so I changed it to just "Wings".

  • Looker Down (live)

    From December 3, 2023. This is one of the songs I played at the inaugural Folk Adjacent Open Mic, hosted by E.W. Harris. I had a spectacular time at this event, so many wonderful performers came out for it. E.W. keeps great company, and it was on full display.

  • Our first music video

    Jason here. Once upon a time I was an avid user of Flash, back before Adobe bought Macromedia. I made a handful of videos that circulated on Albino Black Sheep, like this one back in 2006. I can’t draw for shit, so for the most part I adopted a style of animation that some call…

  • Setting up a new site

    Hey there, world. Jason here. For a long time our "website" has been a freebie thing on hyperfollow.com, which came with our DistroKid subscription. It was useful enough, as it gave people links to our music and videos, but was also kind of embarrassing. Setting up a decent WordPress site really isn’t that hard, I…
