Two tracks off an upcoming album titled 'Retrospective XXIII.'
The album was recorded immediately upon return from a tortuous solo tour.

WHERE DO I BEGIN TO RECOUNT MY PERILS??
I got trapped on a mountain in a blizzard
I drove a lot, more than necessary due to weather-related road closures
Seattle was a rough show
I lost feeling in my right, middle and index fingers
It was a week long panic attack – fight or FIGHT!
I thought I was going to die every night
Something happened inside my shoulder, now every time I move my left arm there’s a stabbing pain that shoots through my chest – front to back
But I did it – you know, I made it home and people seemed interested in what I had to say
I have more calluses and know more about my INSIDES
–
VI songs are new interpretations of previously-released tracks – written, rehearsed, performed, and recorded specifically for the aforementioned tour:
I Felt the Sun
I Want To Live Again
Circuits
Ninety Degrees
Black Cathedral
Eighties Goth Suicide Note
–
IV songs are brand new, written, more or less, impromptu–post-tour while reflecting on tour experiences:
Soundcheck
No Way Jose!
Dire Glacier
Pick up a Phone
