Happy Valentine’s Day lovely people!

Once upon a time I made a record that for me was very unusual in many ways. First I had no deadline. Being the typically overachieving goal oriented kind of person this was a challenge for me. I wanted the record to unfold, allow it to come into the world on it’s own time. I hired some amazing musicians, and changed my line up, changed my approach to the sonics of the session and dove into the morass.

I wrote the songs, did a co-write or two, did a few pre production meetings, took a few days to make the record…and then things got strange.

As some of you may have heard, artists are a mercurial bunch of people, and I include myself in that description. So, when the drama hit the fan I shelved the record. I needed the dust to settle and the final curing, melding, maturing process to happen while it did so in it’s digital womb for what seems like many years.

So finally here it is in all it’s odd artistic style. The songwriting is dark and sarcastic, angry and sad, and looking back I guess I just needed to get a few things off my chest. The sounds are dark and ugly, cryptic and lovely, and this will not be the record for those of you looking for another Bluebird Tattoo. I hope you enjoy it anyway.

As my gift to you when you leave a comment on this post I will send you a link to download the record for free, for some arbitrary time until I decide otherwise. Mercurial see?

And so I release my sixth record Vonnegut’s Wife on Valentine’s Day wishing you all love.
