My 4th album āPale, Through the Windowā is out today
My job was to tell the story of how emptiness, confusion and near nihilism, was transformed into certainty, clarity, hope and awe. Love by way of God first, reflected and confirmed further by the love of an incredible partner. The world will continue to crack, but I know fully it is in surrendering to the redemptive power of love for ourselves and one another that fills it. I had many many many cracks at the start of this album. I still have many. But my God how they have been filled.
Today I am proud to make this statement artistically, a piece of work, evidence really, of how great our Creator is, how beautiful life can be in spite of its ugliness at times, and how grateful I am to be here.
This was a true family album. Produced and mixed by my comrade in everything,
@jarradk_allday . You donāt know how much youāve taught me about who I am as an artist. I owe so much to you and our friendship. Gumenation forever.
Engineered by the greatest to ever hit the faders, in the studio and on the road,
@grillson . And of course the band of bands
@jnslrzno @calknowles @_johnchong @abigaillynnkelly and
@timkellytk
And you know what? Not only did
@tiacubelic sing and play fiddle on House in the Country, but her dad
@crcube played upright bass on it too ššš and if that wasnāt enough, her family and mine did BGVs on HP3 and Wayside!!
Forever grateful for
@s_kinigopoulos @electraking and
@runningbearfilm not just for the work we did on these videos and photos, but for being my family. Stephen has on every album been my voice of truth and solidarity in the mission. But like whatever dude
@nicksteinhardt is goated beyond measure on creating a visual world for an album. He took all my nutty thoughts and vision pieces and built a perfect representation of it all.
My team at
@redlightmgmt @rounderrecords @shorefire @sonymusicpubnashville @fsm_nash and
@unitedtalent and I have worked so hard at this, itās crazy weāve just arrived at the starting line!!!
I am very very very blessed and happy today. This album is truly and I mean truly, for you.
