about

Hey folks,
Here's a collection of songs for your ears, a mix of home demos, studio extras, brand new first takes and a couple that have been kicking in the back of my sketchbook for awhile. There's some traveling, a bit of romance, facing the fear of flying, an existential lullabye, general observational ruminations, and a tiny bit of heartbreak. This was all recorded between 6/23 and 3/24 with the exception of Find Me which was a home demo I recorded in 5/22 and I included here because I always kinda liked the way it came out, and thought you all might enjoy it too. These songs are also being released on two separate vinyl releases, on 12" LP that includes half these songs and a B-side of instrumental oddities, and then a lathe cut square 7" EP, hand produced by Aaron Jennings in Missoula MT. The vinyl releases will only be available in person for the time being, but you can enjoy the full scope of auditory action here in the meantime and for perpetuity.
Thanks for listening
Devin

Floating on the carpet of lyrics, rhythm and sound. Hunting pedal steel and a wonderful pure voice. Thank you Kiki! And thanks to Gill Landry, for mentioning your name. mariakeesstadlin
