In early 2010, I was asked to collaborate with Blue Sky Black Death as the vocalist/lyricist/songwriter on their new album. The result is a new album “Third Party” coming out September 7th. “Carl Sagan” is the first single. You can stream it at Soundcloud. Lyrics are after the cut.

A new digital single for “What Time Is It Now” is out now. It features really nice remixes. Blue Sky Black Death’s take is moody and fantastic, full of dark, intricate electronics. Lymbyc Systym provides an unusually hard-hitting number, a great noise-drenched track. Finally, T. H. White is a lovely, glossy pop version, a nice sunny single version. You can grab the MP3 of Blue Sky Black Death’s remix free from this Soundcloud page or this direct download link. And of course all three remixes are available for purchase at Amazon.com and iTunes.

Here is a new mini-video for the song YWCA Trixie. This was shot at various science and art museums in Stockholm, including the same Tomas Saraceno exhibition where we shot the Patricia Soriano short. We talked about the story behind the song recently in an interview, included below. See the video below the cut, or at Vimeo, or Youtube.

Here’s a new video short for the instrumental interlude “Patricia Soriano.” This was shot at a Tomas Saraceno installation in a Stockholm museum. The women were complete strangers who just happened to enter the installation at the same time. It’s an enormous, detailed replica of a spider’s web that took 2 years to build. Watch it at Vimeo, at Youtube, or below the cut.

Here’s an old demo of a new song “On the Run.” One of my most useful eBay purchases was a cheap battery powered Casio MT-36. It’s been my main songwriting instrument for the past two years. It’s refreshing to not have to stare at a computer screen overloaded with possibilities. It simplifies choices. (Do I feel like Rock or Swing?) Anyways, this was a quick demo recorded for myself just after I finished writing it. I have a lot of these. I record these just to make sure I don’t forget them. Lyrics, MP3, and more below.
