“demoitis in 2026” is out! a lil time capsule EP of home demos and alternate acoustic versions. the song playing here is an early acoustic version of “speak up” which was one of the first songs we recorded after the name change to POP ETC. hope you enjoy. xoxoxo chris

“ís (acoustic demo)” out now!!! this is a song i wrote with yoko kanno for the anime 残響のテロル (terror in resonance) around 2014. i grew up watching cowboy bebop and was a big fan of yoko’s work so it was a pretty huge honor to get to work with her on some songs. we recorded the song in tokyo but this is an old demo i made at some point to work on lyrics. i know a lot of you have been asking for us to put this song up for a very long time, i was hesitant because the fidelity of this recording is pretty bad, but now that a decade (!!!) has passed it feels like an interesting time capsule. hope yall like it. Xoxo chris

thanks to everyone for the kind words, it really means a lot. “excuses (acoustic)” is out everywhere now!! “ís” out next week :) 🙏🏽🙏🏽💜💜🫶🏽🫶🏽💜💜🙏🏽🙏🏽

Putting out an EP of some home demos and acoustic versions that yall have been asking to put on streaming for foreverrrr. First song from this lil EP is an old acoustic version of “Excuses” back from the morning benders / BIG ECHO days, and it’s out NOW! Rest of the EP will be out shortly. Sorry it’s taken so long. I’ve felt kind of paralyzed for a while, but this year my resolution is to stop overthinking things and put more music out into the world! So here we go. Full track list below. Love yall, thanks for listening all these years :) xoxo chris 1. Excuses (Acoustic) 2. ís (Acoustic Demo) 3. What Am I Becoming? (Stripped) 4. Routine (Acoustic Demo) 5. Speak Up (Acoustic)

“FORGIVENESS” the new album from @aaronmanuelross is out today!! this is such a beautiful album from one of my favorite songwriters. i’ve always respected aaron’s approach to music. he’s such an independent spirit and has just created music tirelessly his whole life. undistracted and totally dedicated to his art. it was a dream to get to work on this record with him. and a very special thank you to Bella @bciel for the beautiful artwork, i love her work and this piece is such a great fit for the record. produced/mixed/mastered by me :)

“endless melody” in the clouds ☁️☁️☁️

“everything reminds me of you” on the porch. thanks for all the love on the new record, means a lot to me. xo chris 💜🫶🏽🥹

today i can honestly say im grateful for my accident. not just gratitude for still being alive, although there is a lot of that. but also for the ways it’s changed my life. somehow through whatever happened to me when i was “gone,”ive been given a rare opportunity to see myself from an outside perspective, and while it might sound cliche, it’s made me feel more alive, more connected to everyone, more connected to the earth. sorry if that doesn’t make sense, words are kind of failing me here. i’ll try again another time. this video is really wild. love you all xoxo chris

I put my “accidental album” out today. I can’t tell you how much this album means to me. It feels so good to put it out into the world, and so good to give it to YOU all. Like a weight has been lifted. Thank you for helping me shoulder the load. Life can be hard, but it’s so much easier when you’re sharing it with other people. This album means so many things to me… It’s been a way of making sense of what happened to me in the absence of memory. It’s helped me feel the deepest sense of gratitude just to be alive. And reminded me of just how mysterious and beautiful this life is. It’s given me motivation to start playing and singing and writing again. I’ve been given such a strange gift in being able to listen to my own music with something of an outsider’s perspective… and in some backwards way it’s helped me reconnect with the joy of making music again. Anyway, it’s yours now. I’d love to keep hearing from you. Some of the stories of similar accidents and traumatic experiences you all have shared with me have honestly brought me to tears. I’m toying with the idea of playing some shows around this record, too. And I’m excited to start the next chapter, whatever that means. Love you all. xoxo chris
