Everything is hanging on the wall

Okay, wow. So much has happened in the last month and I've been entirely absent from this platform. I had so much fun and worked so hard in 2022 to make these songs, then last year to mix and master and sequence this work as well as plan the release schedule, and then this winter and spring to make so many short- and long-form videos. The album is finally with us, and the results of that work are showing.

Although the numbers make me feel like all the ways I've said hey please pretty please listen to my stuff have meant something, people personally letting me know the meaning of my music to them makes me feel like actually spending such time writing and recording songs is not just for me. As this project comes to a close, I want to start focusing more on telling other peoples' stories. I've been uncovering new ways to use my music to connect with people, and this is only the beginning.

But, for now, here is Everything You Didn't Want to Hear and some cryptic accompanying videos on YouTube that I think are very pretty if you'd like to look at them.

Thanks for a great release show. I've got one more performance with The Everything this year at LUaroo. Our set is on Sunday, March 26 at 3:30 pm for those of you at Lawrence. Everyone else will just have to blow me up on the internet so we have a reason to tour...

In truth, love, and real life,

Eli
