At The Prow of The Lifeboat

At The Prow Of The Lifeboat is the first single from my upcoming album, The Boy In The Diving Bell, coming out on May 23rd, 2025. This track is raw and intimate - just me, an acoustic guitar, and a haunting string quartet. It’s a stark and emotional meditation on isolation, social struggles, and unfinished business. The lo-fi aesthetic and unvarnished vocal delivery capture years of unresolved tension, giving a glimpse into the personal and experimental soundscapes of the full album.

I’ve made the decision to keep this album off Spotify, Apple Music, and the other major streaming platforms. The industry is stacked against independent artists, and I don’t want my work swallowed up by a system that pays pennies while controlling how music is heard. Instead, I’m releasing everything exclusively on Bandcamp, with CDs and vinyl available through ElasticStage.

If you want early access to new music, exclusive content, and a deeper look into the process behind the album, you can subscribe to me on Bandcamp. It’s the best way to hear the songs as they were meant to be heard while directly supporting independent music.
