The Workhorse Is dead
The Spider and The Ribcage
This E.P. took a long time to release, for lots of reasons.
It's difficult for me to relive the memories these songs are based on sometimes. This is my art for what it's worth and I am proud of it.
For me, the best thing about art, any art, is not the discovery of brand new ideas, but the discovery of feelings and experiences that you thought only you had. Then you find something - a fear, a thought, a vague feeling or even a way of believing expressed by someone you don't know, expressed in their own way, a way that resonates with you on a level you don't fully understand.
This E.P. might do that for you.
After the longest time I no longer feel the need to act like this when people talk to me, when I’m asked about my music I feel like it’s good and that I worked hard and that I embrace the fear of my own ridicule like a lover lost at sea.
Listen I know there are days where the last place you want to be is here with me, but I remember the times you said ‘it’s good to see you too’ and you meant it.
So I’ve pulled all the knives out of the back of my words and arranged them into five pieces of music.
Instruments are wheels and redemption is an engine and my anticipation of getting back to you is like the quiet few seconds before thunder follows lightning.
When we meet again there will be a spider around my heart.
This time I will be better because of it.
Like the opening of flowers
