The new Wand album Mt. St. Helens is now available in compact disc format! Get it here.
So it’s been far too long since anything new has really happened around these parts but I’m so excited to officially announce my new full length album here!
It’s titled Mt. St. Helens and it is the result of a year obsessed with odd time signatures and ripping synths (aka. listening to a lot of genesis and john bender).
Homemade copies of the album will be available at Landisfest III with real copies to come later. I can’t wait for this to be finally out.

“Blues” is the album I’ve been writing and recording for the past 6-7 months, and I’m excited to finally have it released on our home recording label, Crystal Country. The album, 12 songs long in diameter, accommodates sounds ranging from bontempi organ/choir oohs ambience to Norwegian black death drumming to grandpa guitar folk strummin to face brutalizing accordion-grinding. Hope ya’ll like it!

Hey, earlier this year me and my friends made a stop-motion music video for my song ‘Secret Hymn’ off my last album ‘Black Beach’. It took about 1400 photos and quite a few hours of patience testing creativity but in the end i’m really happy how it turned out. Please give it a watch.
