I've been quiet for a bit, and missed feeling connected to you all, so here's an update on everything that has been going on.

I'm on the verge of having my Sinking Islands CD/Vinyl Kickstarter completely wrapped up, as soon as all this vinyl gets shipped out (which it will, very shortly). I'd like to give my sincere, heartfelt public thanks to all the wonderful people who contributed and made it possible for this album to finally have a physical release.

I absolutely could not have made it happen without you all, and the show of support was both unexpected and extremely encouraging not only for this specific release, but for the future of Absofacto in general.

As soon as I have every last bit of Kickstarter rewards sent out, the CDs and vinyl will also be available on my Bandcamp page.

And now, as promised, here is the extremely long list of specific thank yous for my Kickstarter contributors! (If I missed anyone or got any links wrong, please let me know. It was a lot to compile!)

Today the fine folks of Paste Magazine premiered our new song.

It's called "Backfire," and you can listen and download it...

RIGHT HERE.

It also got some love over at AZLTRON, Indie Shuffle, Ill Chill Pill, Blushing Panda, Blahblahblahscience, and the Music Ninja.

This is the second new song since (re)starting to collaborate with my main man Brian. It was almost lost to a hard drive crash this summer, but we pieced it back together with the parts we could salvage. It actually turned out better the second time around anyway, though there was much hand-wringing and gnashing of teeth in the interim. There are a lot more new songs to come, but as the plan goes right now... you may hear them live before you hear a recording(!).

made a big plan, huh 
are you a mouse or a man? 
sounds like it backfired, sounds like it backfired 
who are you fooling? 
could it be you? 
when you tried to get over 
but it got over you again 
over you again 

dotting your t's and crossing your i's 
hate to tell you, but it's a poor disguise 
tossing your soul over the wall 
sounds like it backfired 
sounds like it backfired 

made a big plan huh 
are you a mouse or a man? 
sounds like it backfired, sounds like it backfired 
who are you fooling? 
no one at all 
when you tried to get over 
but it got over you again 
over you again
