Today *only* for Bandcamp Day, I'm releasing a remastered version of 6 songs from my final pre-pandemic show, where I was accompanied by Joe Suihkonen (The Deals) on guitar & singing.

Originally released on the Puddle Splashers youtube channel. You can watch the videos here:

These recordings will be taken down after today, but the youtube videos will remain on the channel. Hope you enjoy!

 Hello, it’s the last Bandcamp Day of the year. and it’s a loaded one! I released two new tunes called Room & Taste (album art by my friend and roommate Griffin Trapp)

My new band Patter (with Wilson and Joe) has our first song out in the world, on a comp called Warm Violet that is benefitting Chicago Community Jail Support.

Also on the comp is a brand new Options demo from an album I’m recording now, plus music from Floatie (which I recorded/mixed), Jeraf (which I recorded), and 40-something others!!

The Deals (Joe’s band, who also plays in Patter and Options Band) have dropped a single and pre-order for their absolutely 10/10 album coming out 1/5. I tracked this album with them, and it was one of my all-time favorite recording sessions!

Griffin released a new EP that I mastered… it’s awesome, really fun adventurous stuff.

Cee Dertz (Options alumni from the 2019 Q4 band, and RHCP Enthusiast) dropped his new LP which we recorded in 2019!!! It’s dope, his arrangements are bananas, and yes there are bongos!

There’s so much great music to buy today, hop to it. 

Peace,
Seth

My new full-length album, Window's Open, will be out this Friday 10/23

 Hello, I'm releasing a new full-length album called “Window's Open”

I recorded it from 2018-2020, tracking sporadically at several locations. The album is mostly centered around ambient guitar loops, and uses digital recording technology to imagine a more freeform way of making songs.

 You can hear the first track "Warm,” which is premiering on Post-Trash today:

 Hello hello - I'm going to be playing some music on the internet tonight (8/13), over at @indiebasketball Instagram channel. My set will start at 8:30pm CST/9:30pm EST.

Today I released my new album, Wind's Gonna Blow! These songs were realized during a period of significant personal growth. I had more fun recording this than anything I've done before, and I was able to learn a lot from this particular journey as well. I feel both relief and gratitude to be able to finally share this album. I hope it finds a way to resonate with you.

Love,
Seth
