2025-12-07 19:25:43 +0000 UTC View Postpiano ditty today. made a beat and just jammed over it! I recommend this as a writing method for solooooo folk (who wish they were in bands). keeps the pace up.. something to bounce around. stops me overplaying, too?

quick song idea from today, scrappy as they come. hadn't quite solidified the melodies lol so you can hear me sort of be surprised by the chords as I play them ahaa sometimes I wish I had more music theory so I would be surprised less but sometimes I think that surprise is the whole ass magic !!!
hey SDC : )
today is the day I post 2 of these to catchup, I'm a day behind on my posting. thanks for all the love on the sad ditty from yesterday. the emotions this week are varied and flowing freeeeee. wrote this yesterday with a sweet 15 min timer on right before I had to leave my studio to go see a show (wolf alice at the O2 arena, btw. they were incredible).

hey SDC! i’m trying something new in feb. as you all know I’ve been writing - writing for album 3, writing for other projects, writing for writings sake. working through the feelings but maaaan it’s solitary. I don’t wanna wait until the next era is ready to play shows ! I miss playing live
SO I’ve booked a solo show where I have no idea what the setlist will be. a lot of it will be songs I write between now & then! some songs I play on the night may end up on OG3.. others...

ok SDC let's go: I'm writing something every day in december (up to christmas day). LET'S RUN THE TAP
day 1 turned out a little piano ditty. wanted something chordy, noodle-y. was thinking about how involuntary it is to give someone else power over you - be that a crush, a parent, a friend, an ex.. anyone. sometimes you blink and it's already happened past tense. they call the sho...

hey SDC! here is your november demo : )
it's been a super up-and-down couple of weeks in my head so that's for sure distilled that in this demo. I've been pensive, all at once stuck in the past and hopeful for the future! this song is a classic tale of the aftermath of love lost and the stickiness that follows

so I've had a gnarly cold all week and after a stealthy 11 hour sleep last night (RIP) I woke up this morning with a much clearer head. I'm not 100%, but so much better than before (I re-sang this demo and ABing it with the one from yesterday was like night & day lol no amount of EQ could remove the nasal tone of the original). aaanyway - my energy and voice being ...

hey SDC : ) so for the past 3 weeks or so I've had no insta or tiktok on my phone and generally I've been the least active on socials than any other point over the last few years. it really shouldn't feel so radical but given as I've been almost constantly 'in campaign' from WOTI until now (WOTI > FIZZ > ENAH) it really has felt like a radical change. it's been a harsh reality check at times; putting so much time & energy into my online presence over the past decade has lef...

hey SDC : ) so I had one of the best musical experiences of my little life in july making ‘middle farm sessions, vol. 3’, a unique collaborative record that came out yesterday
the format for the session was simple: 11 songwriters brought down 1 song each and got 3 hours to record it with the group, live to tape with my friend Pete Miles (producer of the FIZZ record, co-producer of ENAHero). the group ranged ...

hello SDC darlings! happy last day of the month (eeeeeek - as IF tomorrow is september ? nope)
your august demo is a song penned w 2 talented friends Martin & Noah. it's about pursuing a career in music and how frankly MAD that is sometimes. I was thinking of the phrase "insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results" and it really reminded me of this pursuit, one that many more fail than succeed at.. but yet WE DO IT AGAIN ????

lyrics:
I know I know I know I seem brave
I had you fooled if that was the case
It’s the opposite of what we’re told
But if you really love me you’ll let go
I’ll be the one to stay up at night
You’ll be the one to hold me too tight
But that won’t leave me any space to grow
So if you really love me you’ll let go
It’s a wild ride if you ride it

my very talented friend Em (who comes on tour with us to snap photos & sometimes sell y'all merch) came down to visit us at the studio to capture some of the making of the album. as the ENAH era winds to a close, it felt like the right time to invite you in to see more of the process!

greets from OMAHA, NEBRASKA : ) your girl is fully in the midwest now. for me midwesterners & the Irish seem to share a kinship; there's a sweetness & warmth to the people here that makes me feel very at home.
after a jam packed weekend of festivals we played show 1/7 supporting glass animals last night in Minneapolis. the crowd were so sweet & attentive - I have a good feeling about this run of shows! so tonight, we play Omaha..
