April 26 of 2026 marks ten years since the official and definitive release of Swimming To The Stars (A) and Swimming To The Stars (B). Originally conceived as a single album and momentarily released on bandcamp in 2015, I made…

It might not be apparent how much thought went into the Barricade music video, but the narrative is pretty deeply intertwined with the lyrics. We used very minimal resources and effects to try to illustrate a fairly layered concept, and…

The first single from our debut full-length album “A Fearful Wonder” was released on March 15 of 2019. We had spent the last three years playing one-off shows here and there, leaving people intrigued but puzzled by our sound, and…

On September 7, 2024, we played our second last show before going on hiatus from the live stage. Set at the Meteor bar in Windsor, ON, we shared the stage with local prog wizards Blood Wolf Moon and some new…
