Björk - Biophilia (2011)
incredibly artful pop record; songs that build whole entire worlds each. Björk's sound design and atmosphere are completely unmatched, and her writing is intensely evocative, ethereal, otherworldly while also remaining visceral and arresting. unreal amount of artistry!

Sunny Kim & Ben Monder - The Dream of the Earth (2016)
stunningly beautiful "jazz as art song" vocalist + jazz guitarist collab. contemplative ambient meditations punctuated by intimate ballads. a haunting spiritual salve for an ailing planet, a theme that really resonates with me (and my music).

This Is Lorelei - Box for Buddy, Box for Star (2024)
it's been years since an indie folk rock album got me this excited! I could not put this one down. direct and catchy songwriting, very well developed lyrics, excellent pacing, just enough experimentation. a cult favorite's deserved breakout hit.

Hank Heaven - Loaded Dice (2024)
jazz guitarist turned indie singer-songwriter... such a cool pipeline! this album became my most-listened of 2025 in Dec alone - the songs are absolute earworms! loosely gambling themed, varied in style and tone, it ultimately feels like a very intimate gaze inward.

sueter7 - diario (2025)
an endearing, catchy, emotional EP of Argentine glitchy indietronica. everything about this album gels so well and hits so hard! the arrangements are a mix of emo-poppy guitars, synths, electronic drum sequencing, and crunchy bitcrushed vocals. sounds like your best friend.

I sold my horns when I moved last year cause I hadn't played in many years, but I wound up wanting to get back into it in earnest, and now I have this used vintage yamaha horn from the early 70s. I'm rusty as hell but already having so much fun, it's great to play again for the simple joy of playing

I got the jackets in for the vinyl of Past Future Present Memory, my new album!!! they turned out so crisp and bright. (artwork + design by the inimitable @aurahack.ca !)
I'm really excited for this to come together - the records themselves are still in production but the test press sounded great 🙌

reading Mood Machine, a recent book of music journalism about Spotify, and it definitely cuts deep so far
this gives me the grim impression that unless you make music that's comfortable for background/passive "listening", it's not worth having your stuff up on their service. your goals do not align

happy to finally share some pics of the sleeve I got done over the course of 2025 - a colorful, detailed ode to the works of my favorite animator, Masaaki Yuasa.
my tattoo artist Hanam Mun did an incredible job designing this out of various key art and stills from Tatami Galaxy and Kaiba!

going to be taking a long drive this week/end - here's all the albums I have added to a giant playlist to listen to...! 40 of them!
I like to assemble a big pile of records that are new to me, then roll dice to determine the order of albums. I've been doing road trips this way for years, I love it.

I rented a cute old house w/ some others for a surprisingly good price in my last 2 years at USC, and this is what that plot of land looks like now. I noticed they tore the whole damn block down when I drove by in 2020, but this is somehow even worse than I expected

everyone should come to my album listening party this Saturday on 7jam dot io
7jam in its current form is shuttering soon, so this might be the last listening event there! but during the lockdown era it provided a fantastic, fun, homey space for remote jam sessions over MIDI & virtual venue space!

I recently found an iPod at a garage sale for $10 and hadn't realized just how much I missed having & curating a dedicated music player!
in hindsight, the iPod era was a much rosier one for music appreciation than where we've ended up. they made a personal, physical thing just for digital media!

I had to cut off the first 30 seconds of the song for this to fit in the upload, but if you wanna hear that sweet intro: h-v-b.bandcamp.com/album/the-ba...
