Out today on Vanguard Records - Viva Voce’s ‘The Future Will Destroy You.’ I’m so proud of Kevin & Anita Robinson; having been a fan of the band for a long time now, it is an honor to work with them - and worked, we have. Thank you Seth, Stephen, Jena, Lucy, Lauren,...

Writing this from home, where I’m knee deep in homemade soup, kombucha, and a dose or two of dayquil. We made it through all of that travel only to get sick at the end. Good timing, I suppose, given the amount of work there was to do. Another departure looms 6 days...
the head & the heart.
This band has come to mean so much to me and Damien, and to our community in Seattle. However, as their appearance on Conan last night FURTHER proves, they don’t belong to just this city any more. This year has already been busy for them, and there are summer tours around the world...
turku, helsinki, jyväskylä
On a whim I chose to process a photo in black & white a few days ago, and Damien looked at it in awe. “You should shoot in black & white only, always!” I’m hesitant, since I’m most drawn to COLOR while shooting, and all of these were shot with that in mind....
denmark, norway.
The last text I got before getting on the plane to begin this tour was: “You are lightness.” With that, I put the phone on airplane mode and jumped into all of the following:

A quick word on Record Store Day, coming up...
lightness, dispatch one
I couldn’t be prouder of the humans I’m out here on the road with, nor having a better time. I’d expand upon those thoughts, but it is 3:41 am where I’m sitting, and I’ve sworn off 4 am bedtimes for at least the next two days.
No doubt about it though, we’re having a blast....
goodbye national freedom
Good times. The best. Thank you to Sarah & Dan for sharing their talents with this next album. Thank you to the family Swift for being such beautiful humans. Thank you to Damien for letting me be a part of LP10 & of this music in so many ways. I...
Done in 5 days
Well. That’s a bit misleading. Swift & Damien finished an album’s worth of songs in that time. But they’re hardly done. In a way, they’re just warming up for a full month of recording this summer. It’s going to be good. Hard to believe with that schedule that they...
LP10: day one
Yesterday afternoon, Damien officially began his TENTH record. Naturally, in the time it took Shealynn and I to run out and get burgers, he and Swift recorded 5 immaculate tracks of guitar & vocals. Two hours later, 4 more. Their pace is inspiring, as is the end product.

preview: notes from home
Last Wednesday, I had the privilege of attending the latest show in the Notes from Home series, curated by Dylan Priest & Tyler Kalberg. Along with Laura Musselman, I was asked to document the evening in photos as they took video & Zach Varnell captured audio. The performers? Colin Reynolds, Damien Jurado,...
