MY NEW MIXTAPE 1331 IS OUT TODAY ON . come celebrate tonight 7/10 in philly at with & or tomorrow 7/11 in malden with &
many people to thank for this mixtape making it to the world, and don’t worry i WILL do the thanking. but first—i can’t believe i get to celebrate release day with this monumental feat of a whiplash turnaround music video for “Six Ways” made by my absolute favorite monster movie wrecking crew, .is.hell.im.in.hell zay.fz. i befriended this lot after i moderated a panel for a philly screening of their punk tour classic Uncle Peckerhead. matt and wicky and their friends and fam make the best horror comedies with heart, and this video—a creepy yet earnest send-up of pop star-playing-pop star music videos, with thee hottest makeup by my longtime collaborator/ —gave me a totally transformed understanding of “Six Ways.” it’s a rare and exciting gift when a video can do that for a songwriter. i am so lucky to make a cool thing like this with these folks whose work i love so much; go watch on y’tube at normal size and ratio right now IF YOU DARE and spy cameos by besties & . but be warned it is the hottest i have EVER LOOKED OR FELT OR EVER WILL LOOK OR FEEL.

Sad13 - 1331
a mixtape of 13 ~1 min-long songs, out 7/10 via Exploding In Sound
recorded & produced by me at home
the first 3 tracks are out today, plus a self-directed video for “Watermelon Manicure”
in may 2024, i wrote daily “theme songs”—less personal, more communal. i think of these tracks as “the UArts one,” the “activists are releasing bugs in courthouses!!” one. there’s also a “trolling the mayor” and an “i’m hot (?)” one—i sang with dirtbag perspective, steely dan mode. despite the brevity, these are more dense & playful than any tracks i’ve produced, true faves
1331 sat in my notebook a year when i shattered my elbow & a comic litany of bonus life plagues kept cropping up. usually i track a record in ~2 weeks; this took all of 2025. a benefit was i could take influence from a widened range of sounds and A TON of gigs. i got excited to engineer and perform these entirely solo for the first time in 15 years, & mastering collaborator picked up my freq slack with her and ’s on co-mix. is a glad return to the BFF-heaviest roster; thrilled A-team longtimers are here too!
big thx for my first 1331 interview—i said “DIY hell” a lot—i’m verklempt reading this thoughtful feature, mega appreciated at a time when media workers are stretched so thin (another subject of this mixtape). re: DIY hell: i committed to the bit by painting the cover, self-portraiting the press photos, and directing this video (thanks to AD, my mom)
“watermelon manicure” has triple intention: it’s about whether visual gestures of solidarity are frivolous (no), whether to bother with people who won’t take words at face value (i.e. willful misinterpretation of “fr33 p4l3st1n3”), and ethical throughlines that inform everything we do. i shot each scene at 3 speeds to speak to consistency across time, and while i clearly had fun wearing bachelorette party favor gloves, it’s always me & my hands at work
no physical 1331s for now BUT pre-order a stupid t-shirt (guess who designed it) to ship next month. enjoy these new songs, i’m thrilled to get to share the rest with you soon!!!
