Today is the release day for “Without A Single Fight,” the new album from @peaceful.faces . It’s a chronicle of a lot of change and anxiety in my life—the last few years it’s been hard to know what I even think or feel about life or love or art. But with that uncertainty has come a lot of growth too, and it’s been a relief to get to channel all that conflict into song. This is my proudest and most vulnerable work as a songwriter, producer and aspiring vocalist. I’m endlessly grateful to the wonderful folks at @g.l.a.m.o.u.r.g.o.w.n.s for believing in this project and to the very fine folks and great friends who made this highly personal music into a vibrant communal vision: John Cushing @johncushingofficial - Trombone, Backing Vocals Alex Graff - Acoustic and Electric Guitar Alden Harris-McCoy - Electric and Acoustic Guitar, Claps Tony Solis @__tonysolis__ - Bass, Claps Eli Cohen @donuts_robinson - Drums and Percussion, Claps Sami Stevens @samistevens - Backing Vocals on “Union” and “She’s Getting Married” Dylan McKinstry @dylan.mckinstry - Mellotron, Electric Guitar, Bass Devon Yesberger @yesbergerplease - Organ Daniel Pencer @recnepleinad - Clarinet, Flute, Bass Clarinet Me - Lead Vocals, Acoustic Guitar, Piano, Synth, Chord Organ, Trumpet, Flugelhorn, Percussion, Claps Engineered by Dylan McKinstry and Nate Mendelsohn @marketetcetera and me Mixed by Dylan McKinstry (serious thanks to Dylan for doing so much to shape the sound of this record) Mastered by Philip Shaw Bova Art and Design by Marin Jurgens @marin.jurgens Photo by Griffin Brown @griffinbrown_ Please join us on June 26 at @littlefieldnyc for a very special release show—we’ll be pulling out all the stops for this one with special guests and @__katypinke and @skjelset will play too!

Hey friends. A new Peaceful Faces song is out in all the digital places; you can listen if you’d like at the link in bio. Pardon the noise—I’ve never given myself permission to rock out like this before. “Freee” is the first song from an album, out June 6 on the illustrious @g.l.a.m.o.u.r.g.o.w.n.s label, that examines love in the face of apathy over a series of soft and loud songs; it’s available to preorder now on our bandcamp. I’m so very proud of the whole thing, especially all the great sounds made by the best friends and musicians and artists a boy could ask for. We also made a spooky video — check out the full thing on YouTube. Love you all!

A bit of live "The Danger," from the newest @peaceful.faces album "Without A Single Fight." This one wasn’t a single, but people seem to like it, and it grew from a whispery folk tune on the record into a mighty full-band jam. Might drop some full performances on the internet soon... @treebeardjazzman - writer, vocals, trumpet @johncushingofficial - trombone @aldenhm and Alex Graff - guitars @utsavlalpiano - keys @__tonysolis__ - bass @donuts_robinson - drums Videography by @stevecarmonalater

Our album “Sifting Through the Goo, Reaching For the Candlelight” is three years old this month—here’s a live bit of one of the most resilient songs from that record, “Beau Travail,” which I began writing ten years ago on my first (brief) stint living in NY. @treebeardjazzman (me) - trumpet and vox @johncushingofficial - trombone and vox @aldenhm and Alex Graff - guitars @utsavlalpiano - keyboards @__tonysolis__ - bass @donuts_robinson - drums Recorded live at @littlefieldnyc June 2025 Videography by @stevecarmonalater
