Something something “Sippin on ale with Margo Martindale” sounds like a lost MF Doom album

Evergreen I: Golden Sedum, by John Swanke 5 track album

It's nice to see @johnswanke.bsky.social expand his toolkit beyond guitar to embrace pure electronic drift. This new plant-based synthesizer work is meditative, minimal, and slow moving. A welcome escape 🌱

Down to my last few copies of both of these tapes. When they are gone they are gone (until someone reissues them 😉) message me to claim one. $15 shipped. I have 3 of each.

Opening for Sir Richard Bishop still feels like a dream. Packed house. Had to stand on a chair to get this shoddy video when I should’ve just sat down, closed my eyes and listened. But you know…content.

In the interest of transparency and because I think it’s interesting here’s some quick streaming stats from the service that shall not be named. Rain Country has in one week already blown past my first album that has been on streaming for over 3 years. Neat.

I tuned my guitar to 432hz because behind this American Primitive facade lives a dirty hippie who enjoys a good clean sound bath.
