    Lovely gatefold card case with CD of A Small Death. with option for signed by the artist or not.

    *A NOTE ON SHIPPING COSTS*
    I get a lot of emails about the pricey shipping costs so I just want to address it here. I'm not scamming you. These are the actual costs of the US postal service priority mail right now. Especially shipping outside of the USA, the costs are very high, I know. I wish I could do something about it to make this more accessible but I can't. I only send priority mail now instead of a cheaper media mail because I've had so many issues in the past with things getting lost or destroyed if I don't send priority mail and then I end up having to reimburse the cost of the record as well as the shipping and I've lost a lot of money that way so this is really the only option for me shipping right now unfortunately. Just know that all the shipping costs are going towards actual postage, I'm not pocketing any money beyond the cost of the item. I understand if you can't stomach the shipping cost, I don't blame you....love you anyways :)

about

Usually, with a near death experience (which I consider my chapter to be), people experience these poignant changes of seeing the world in a new way. For me, my nightly walks around Norman, Oklahoma, became my impassioned scenes. Streets that I’d walked down hundreds of times were suddenly the most splendid experiences. I remember the freedom and release I felt as a teenager with a new driver’s licence on a late night drive on the dirt roads of Pottawatomie County, how that feeling had evaded me for so long in my callousing. This song follows my new appreciation of the quiet beauty of the night time theater of my town and the rediscovery of that liberation and loosening.

lyrics

What's that silence inside me that expands into the dark? With the traffic lights all changing for no one any more. The karaoke laughter tumbling out the door. My eyes well with contemplation of the pleasures I endure.

Holding to the edge of night

My deepest true desires interrupted with the dawn. A bar tab, a parking ticket pull me back down from beyond. I have searched for her in morning but she’s quiet and austere. And as the moon floats above her, she unfastens all the fear.

Holding to the edge of night

The smell of pine through the air vents, I know its it's there during the day. But as the sun sets around me it strips the other scents away. I am a legend of this land here; I am a keeper of this life. So when I die, however that is, I'll just say “evening was my prize”.

Holding to the edge of night
