An album born out of change and upheaval.
Six new songs organized around a loose Halloween theme.
A song about The Amazing Criswell - a psychic who made predictions whose specificity was only rivaled by their innacuracy.
An album about death, loss, and other endings.
Following on the heels of Winter Of Our Discontent, I felt an urge to write some songs about the end of the world. So I did.
Shortly after moving back to Upstate New York, the COVID pandemic hit, keeping me fairly isolated, and unable to work on several larger projects. So, fighting cabin fever, I recorded stripped-down versions of some newer songs I had laying around waiting for a home. That session and those songs became the Winter Of Our Discontent EP.
Shortly after the release of We Are Our Own Saviors, writing began on a new album. That album was meant to be titled Demonology, but that was the only thing about it that remained constant. Over the course of the next five years, dozens of songs were written and recorded (some as quick demos, others with some basic instrumentation), but the album never really coalesced. The twenty songs included on The Lost Grimoire cover this entire five year period. They are presented as they were abandoned: warts and all, a snapshot of the Demonology sessions.
Thirteen new songs about birds, inspired by birds, or very loosely connected to birds. These are songs of joy and songs of despair, songs of defiance and songs of surrender.
The first full album from Headless Relatives. These twelve songs present stories about redemption and it's failure, featuring Egyptian gods set adrift, a car accident that leads to a moment of primal transcendence, and the transforming power of counting.
A small collection of demos for We Are Our Own Saviors and some other songs from around the same time period.
