Ozone (2022)
fate or chance? / fasten your seat belts tight / wings of stranger angels
For the weary transpacific traveler drifting through time zones — winter to summer, coast to coast, love to sort-of-like and back again. Like a beautiful Christmas Eve still dressed for Halloween. Two people trapped in a metal cabin, seeing each other clearly for the first time. Or the last. A pop song that begins with a flight and a spark of hope, until exhaustion sets in and you land a stranger on the other side.
Small Ugly Fingers (2022)
Don’t talk about your ratings, we all know what’s not up
A satirical alt-rock jab at fragile strongmen and their cartoonish delusions of power. Dark humor and razor-sharp critique — because propaganda and big lies can only hide the truth for so long. Even mushroom soup got more spice than their little troops.
Small Ugly Fingers (2022)
cat scratch heathen / wanted: Ted or alive / addicts in denial
A full-throttle homage to — and indictment of — Ted Nugent and the hypocrisy of the gun lobby. Gun rights rhetoric, video violence, and the Cecil the Lion hunting scandal all collide in one song. MacKaye may have invented the straight edge, but Nugent found his own drug. Load, aim, and consider the consequences.
