My latest album Spectral Remnants is now out on CD and Bandcamp. It's an eerie, dreamlike exploration through a psychedelic landscape of texture and rhythm. There's a link to it in my bio.
Thanks so much to @glorbis and @lexciya_ at @lizard_label for releasing this. And thanks to @brat_sampson for the incredible album art. And also thanks to Jason Letkiewicz for the terrific mastering job.
My good friend @jtcrose wrote a few words about it:
The moment didn’t last for long, not in this place. It was 𝘗𝘴𝘺𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘤 𝘋𝘪𝘧𝘧𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 that brought us out in the open, a deviation in our straight line-of-thought. Despite this loosening of judgements’ horizontal-hold, our sense of Dread (capital “D” Dread (the agnostic kind)) remained alive. The frenzied campaign of 𝘈𝘨𝘪𝘵𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘱 that once saturated the notional landscape had vanished, leaving eddies and currents of diffuse interference to coalesce in its wake. Iridescent clouds signal and harass at the edge of alarm...
No sky up above, instead an electric eye radiates only cold comfort from that feeling of being watched. “Protect Ya Neck” rasps some shrouded paranoiac megaphone. We know it would do better to shield some other vital organ stab in the dark in this dissociative’s shadowland...
Depopulated, depersonalized, a subspace of that same tuned-to-a-dead-channel lit acid-sprawl of 𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘵, 𝘏𝘶𝘮𝘪𝘥𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘝𝘪𝘰𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦. We’ve been surviving since who can remember when. That trick of 𝘊𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘰𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘴 lets linger the ghosts of “song.” Hear? reduced to residue, dancehall apparitions’ rhythmic scaffolds wet with ectoplasmic bass slime. Turned out warehouse ghosts pool 𝘐𝘯𝘤𝘰𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘙𝘦𝘧𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 pensive tension into new shimmering mirage...
Shortwave number station voices sermon on the periphery of perception. Subliminal pronouncements hector and herrie, stammer and stutter until aphony; what’s said seems important, we just can’t make it out. Clamour and din of hearsay echo “this place, this place”, leaving only 𝘚𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘭 𝘙𝘦𝘮𝘯𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘴.
Hey friends! Been a minute but we are excited to announce we have a new release, by our dear and talented friend, Nervous Operator!
Spectral Remnants is a skeletal dubby slab guaranteed to send you tripping through its 8 tracks. Both the digital and CD are available May 15th, and both are up for pre-order now, all on Bandcamp (or if Bandcamp is not your thing you can buy a CD from us directly if you live in Chicago 🤠).
We appreciate your support of Lizard Label and can’t wait for you to enjoy this release!
Produced by Spencer Davis at Exalted Sound

Yoooo it’s *that* Tuesday again ie the day of my radio show and I am very delayed in my announcing but hey I have a lot going on lol. Anyhow today will be a chill edition of the show, ie my “Mind Detritus” edition of Just A Dilettante. On this edition I will just be playing records I’ve picked up since 2026 started so tune in and enjoy, if you can. And if ya can’t, go get your life!
TONIGHT! A pair of highly anticipated debuts, sold and Psy-Chick (Detroit) join us on the decks! The Goods Thursdays—weekly, 930pm no cover. Link in bio ✨
Really thoroughly tickled and honored that @dookle asked me to take part in what has become a Chicago tradition, I’m hoping that I can deliver the fun and fresh atmosphere he consistently delivers with the Goods. I am also looking forward to checking out @psy_____chick as he so carefully curated this lineup with us together!! Thanks Duke!!! 💜

This month JAD falls on the celebratory holiday of St Patrick’s Day. In honor of the beautiful country of Ireland, I will be playing all Irish experimental/electronic/dance music. “May the lilt of Irish laughter lighten every load. May the mist of Irish magic shorten every road.”
This just in: @glorbis and I are dusting off the old HodgePodge party moniker! Bringing our off kilter sounds to The California Clipper next Tuesday, March 10th. Come on down and have a dance with us!
Suuuuuuper excited to be announcing this show! We’ve been planning this for awhile with the vision of putting on talented friends in a special venue.
