21 days

It’s been a busy year, I’ve had 6 new songs come out on 4 different releases and I uploaded them all on Bandcamp for any price you want. I bet there’s at least a song or two you haven’t heard:

Mt. Oriander

Mt. Oriander is Keith Latinen! He used to play in Empire! Empire! (I Was a Lonely Estate) and he plays in Parting now.

I want to use my stuff, I don’t like back-lining. I brought my stuff because I know how it sounds. I didn’t bring it on tour to have it sit in my van. I don’t want other people to use my stuff out of connivence. I’ve had shit broken or lost this way and who ends up paying? Me.
