Kinda crazy journey over this last year, what with all the legal maneuvering in getting the masters back, finding old files, and placing our first ever band vinyl order. We'd never done a crowdfunding campaign before, collectively nor individually, and this itself was its own learning curve. But here we are in the final stages of all of this - the artifact is made, funded, and preparing to be widely released upon the earth. As we draw down into this final stage, here are a fe

This is a final and more fitting close to an album that has somehow always existed as an open browser tab in my mind. An album of unfinished business and what-if. So much life has happened since this record's sunset that I have to think hard to remember the sequence of things in The After: Such as learni

If you haven't heard, Brazil's campaign to release "The Philosophy of Velocity" on vinyl has crossed the line into fully funded territory. 👏👏👏👏👏 We could not have done this without all of your support, and we can't wait to get this beautiful piece of art into your hands.  It's not lost on me that the very first DL;BR catalog release is the last will and testament from the Brazil canon. It's as if one very, very long creative arc has now become a circle. We're getting th
