Announcing: “Dust Among the Stars” by Sci-Fi Romance
Big news. A lot of you know we’ve been working on new music, and I’m thrilled to be able to officially announce our third album and its release date. The album is called “Dust Among the Stars,” and it will be available January 26th, 2016, with pre-orders starting tomorrow available now at Amazon and rolling out […]
Throwback Thursday: Original Cover Art Sketch
I was going through some files while working on the cover art for the new album, and found my original pen sketch that became the cover art for the first Sci-Fi Romance album, …and surrender my body to the flames. I had not intended to do the cover art. There was another artist lined up at the […]
Six Reasons Why Fall is Inarguably the Best Season
Today is the Autumnal Equinox, otherwise known as the first day of fall, otherwise known as the beginning of the best season. This is not an opinion. Fall is the best season. There are plenty of reasons why, but here are a few off the top of my head: 1. The Halloween It seems like […]
Go Set a Railroad Man?
Am I crazy, or does the cover of Harper Lee’s Go Set a Watchman resemble the cover of our album The Ghost of John Henry? To Kill a Mockingbird means a tremendous amount to me, as it does to millions of other people, and though I’m firmly in the camp that there’s something fishy in the release of Go […]
New Year, New Record
As I’ve discussed in previous posts, Sci-Fi Romance’s third album has been written for a while now, but life has prevented it from being recorded…until now! Right before Christmas, we went into the studio for three days and broke ground on the new record. We got six songs in the can, and have a few more […]
Sci-Fi Romance Holiday Songs on iTunes
Just a heads-up as we plow merrily into the holiday season (it’s raining in Los Angeles, so it must be December…), our various holiday songs we’ve done over the lat couple of years are all available on iTunes, or from our Bandcamp store. Cheers! [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Oe8Z1cR22A] iTunes [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8Z-pYMDB0g] iTunes [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCl1N8Ljes4] iTunes
Why Folk Pop Made Me Sad
I think the strange folk pop revival we recently experienced, with its attendant explosion of bowler hats and banjos, is finally a cloud of dust on the far horizon. Mumford and Sons has gone away, the Lumineers still just have the one record (which they apparently have re-released a couple times), Edward Sharpe and the […]
October EP Now Available
Download the EP for free right here. After a drought between albums, it’s incredibly gratifying to be able to put out a new EP today and release it as a free download. Two weeks ago, I didn’t even have the idea for this project, and I love that it now exists and is out there […]
New EP Coming
I’ve had the next full-length Sci-Fi Romance album written for over a year, but as it happens, newborn twins slow down recording schedules. The itch to record and get new music out has been terribly strong. And here we are in October. The best month. Every year at this time, my wife and I watch […]
Couch by Couchwest 2013
There’s this thing, kind of a party, kind of a “festival,” that happens in Austin every year about this time. Maybe you’ve heard of it. But there’s this *other* thing that also happens at the same time, that maybe you haven’t heard as much about, and that is the Couch by Couchwest festival, “where the […]
