Summer of Seventeen are: Monika Khot (NORDRA), Faith Coloccia (Mamiffer, Mara), Aaron Turner (SUMAC, Old Man Gloom), William Fowler Collins and Daniel Menche. It was produced by Randall Dunn and was a wonderful experience to be a part of. Hoping for more in the future.

My 5th solo album, Hallucinating Loss, will be released on vinyl sometime in 2022. More details as they become available. It is being co-released by my label, Western Noir, and my friend/collaborator Raven Chacon's Sicksicksick label. It features Johanna Hedva, Maria Valentina Chirico, Jeremy Barnes and Heather Trost (A Hawk and a Hacksaw), and Aaron Martin.

Untitleable, which is myself on electric guitar and Marshall Trammell (Music Research Strategies) on drums and which came out as a digital-only release last year, will be released as a cassette by SIGE Records. More details when they exist!
