Confessional intrusions with @awilco . Knoll’s final week of a nearly entirely sold out tour with Agriculture is Now. Over the moon!

A belated year in review. I’ve been largely vanished from view in recent memory pouring all of my hours into my art - something I am profoundly grateful to be able to do. My last few months were almost entirely consumed by the year’s end of touring and the restoration and recording of a massive antique organ for reasons easily assumed but yet to be announced. Many of my efforts as of late must be made in silence, but most of what I can show is here. Lots of touring, recording, plotting, designing, and matrimony. Thanks to @cttboto and @_webhed for entrusting me with some of my first collaborative works outside of Knoll and to those who took us out last year. I will be in the vault until I am retrieved.

Two years of marriage celebrated on a miraculously placed off day of tour. I grow with you always, having literally eloped on my birthday. I am twenty four now but am your husband before I am anything else. Thanks for road dogging with me. 🗝️🖤

A growing number of lamps cleared of decaying wasps and rewired for our tour with @profanaticaofficial beginning tonight in Detroit. Visibility is a falsehood.

For reasons unbeknownst to me I decided to put upon myself the task of sealing all of Knoll’s music, artwork, and spirit into the expensive and seldom desired medium of a book. Its process was tedious and long, something that took me hundreds of hours over the course of some months. The restrictive and unaesthetic nature of software engraving forced me to place thousands of details by hand, even after coding in my own fontwork thankfully made easier by previous lessons building Knoll’s website. Each tab number, volta corner, ottava notation, page number and the likes was meticulously crafted to augment the established visual motif. This is not to mention the time sifting through forgotten guitar lines and notating improvised horn sections for exact recreation should the slim odds that one might ever wish to engage with them. The material is dense and largely atonal or frequently modulating, making it difficult to optimize for sight reading and even more so to inscribe perfectly. I could go on. Let it be known, however, that illustrating and in general creating the book was a labor of love for me and I feel immense gratification with the book turned out. Further, we put the first (?) batch out a couple of days ago and they are over halfway gone. It is just a piece of band merch at a glance, but is to me an enormous task of archival and reflection on my first and only band. Each day in Knoll enables me further to obsess over details that are likely only to ever please myself but I am so thrilled to have such a canvas to soak them up. I am hoping to tackle some music boxes next and finish a long series of short films on top of the next release. If you would like to buy a copy of the book, you can do so at untoviewing.com/shop.

A belated recount of Knoll’s recent touring. I tend not to take many pictures on the road but much of what endured and was developed is here. @devastationonthenation was an incredible opportunity for us and its scale propelled my “living room” across the country with enough breathing room to afford the time upkeeping my lamps and regluing spindles. Thank you to that team, those bands, and my own comrades and for the endless welcoming and kindness. I could not be more proud of what we delivered, nor more in awe of the hordes of strangers showing up at 5:30 to see us and caring enough to talk with or buy a record. We came home with nearly no merchandise remaining whatsoever and more exhuberant than we had ever been ending a tour. I remain tight lipped but we are exceedingly busy on the next items, one oddity of which seeps out tomorrow.

Played a dream show last night at @masquerade_atl . More importantly, there was an antique table lingering outside of our green room otherwise unloved that they let me have, as if I do not bring enough on tour already. Thanks. Knoll is back at home in Nashville tonight at Brooklyn Bowl and your absence betrays me. 6PM.

Breaking my silence to request your attendance to the @devastationonthenation tour in a prompt and early manner. Knoll barely escapes the daylight most nights at 6:00 PM. Tonight we are in Tampa at 5:30. I have been in a whirlwind of lamp wiring, design work, and husbandly duties, but now adopt the additional responsibility of hauling myself in a wheeled metal apparatus to You & Your Friends & Your Family.

Thank you for the birthday wishes. Happy to have friends to marry and a wife that I love. All of my other time is spent creating art and I am thrilled to be able to exist this way and not die or starve. I have been a hermit from working on many a large project but you can see me on perpetual tour in a month.

Knoll in Europe once more. Grateful to be back home with my wife with many new memories to be proud of, and for some much needed time rotting in the reliquary before heading out on an insane tour later this year. It is an absurd feeling to watch something that we have put so much care into finally take a life of its own, and even more so to grow hungrier for it in perpetuity.

Fulfilled a long dream of mine casting shadows at @roadburnfest this past weekend. Europe has been incredible for us as a whole, and of special note to do it with @bellwitchdoom , @carcinoma.uk , and long friends @frailbodyil . Stuttgart tonight, and then our first ever visits to Switzerland and Italy.
