Miracle on Neon Clown Avenue
This one took over 4 years to make. It comes from a difficult place, and I hope it can be some medicine for you in these difficult times.
Inspired by my struggles with suicidality, dreams of outer space, and the poem “Ace’s Last Night on Earth”.
For the album’s release, we had a celebration at Centro Cultural Liliana Loth in Oaxaca, followed by a performance at Voodoo’s in Norwich. The following spring, we had a full month-long tour with the Cannonball Statman trio in the UK and mainland Europe, which we released a documentary of.
