what a time to be alive earth needed to slow down anyway were your prepared how many times have you been scared what a time to feel lost what will it cost before we're all listening until it hits home you only believe what's in your phone what you want ain't what you need when isolation is guaranteed to make the nights feel longer and the rooms feel smaller dreaming becomes worry oh man I'm so paranoid is it a chill or scratch? house arrest is doing some funny things got to remember it's a luxury what day is it? all we want is all we need some interaction to feel free together like we once were able to embrace and see each other's faces what day is it?

run little dinosaur feel your earth moving crash like spinning tops fresh out of water dance until we all fall down dance until we get back up! bow ballerina your brain is moving faster than your mouth can speak but one day when they meet... unstoppable unfuckwithable so dance dance dance dance til we all fall down

peacefulness be the guide save us from ourselves to navigate a true way through the warps and twists when you see the story change does it stay the same it's spinning, spinning, spinning me improvement movement irrational charlatan where do we begin common and usual building illusions of the country and the city improvement movement

the way you color every room is as natural as music folding paper airplanes for our little audience preserving the moment. see you reflect off the window my heart still beats the same feeling as when I used to drive 100 miles through winter just to see your face. I cannot express how much of a mess it would be without you! when I try to make words of this I feel a future memory in a moment of wonder looking at the moon moving towards the horizon. I cannot express how much of a mess I would be without you! she's a sorceress and I'm a believer, cast your spell right over me do it with your measure and grace.

about

This is the third album of No Glitter music, recorded throughout lockdown in 2020 and finished in early 2021. 'No Glitter' is a continuation of ideas I started to explore last year on the 'House Music' EP. Some songs came together quickly, others moved at a glacial pace, reflective of how 2020 felt. I went down a lot of studio wormholes with beats, sounds, riffs, and sequences. The album is self titled as it summarizes my sound and inspiration (Beatles and Krautrock and the omnipresent Queens of the Stone Age influence). Also no one self-titles anymore. I had a lot of fun making this records and hope you get the same enjoyment from listening.

Endless thanks to Ian Egling for knowing exactly what to bring with the keys, and to Ian Fait for his fresh perspective to mixing. Mike Turzanski and Travis Johansen for always visually helping. Amy for the best life.

Thank you Dad, my biggest fan, critic and hero, I am so glad you heard the majority of this.
