After two years of work, I am very pleased to announce my new album, Psychic Temple. Psychic Temple contains the music I have wanted to hear for so long. Eventually, I realized I would have to create these sounds for myself. I understand that it is a luxury for an artist to set and then accomplish a goal unimpeded by money, time, or talent but somehow, all three of those obstacles were overcome and the music presented here is exactly what I wanted it to be.

It is with deep humility and honor that I was able to collaborate with a stunning group of musicians on Psychic Temple, without whom, the album would not exist. Among the artists featured: legendary Minutemen bassist, Mike Watt, Philip Glass Ensemble pianist Mick Rossi, virtuosic pedal steel guitarist from the Brian Blade Fellowship, Dave Easley, brilliant trumpeter Kris Tiner, vocalists DM Stith, Julianna Barwick and Joel St. Julien (of ELLUL), guitarist/vocalist Aaron Roche, prolific brass and wind players Danny T. Levin and David Moyer, bassists Steuart Liebig, C.J. Boyd and Anthony Shadduck, Danny Miller and Tabor Allen from Rare Grooves, drummers Andrew Pompey, Justice Constantine and many others.

Psychic Temple is available in both digital and 180-gram, gatefold vinyl version editions and is a co-release between Sounds Are Active and Asthmatic Kitty Records. The vinyl release was made possible by 99 incredible Kickstarter backers. The front and back cover photos were taken by Ian Souter and the layout/art design is by Elis Im.
