Happy Equinox. March brought a drill for deconstructing, but its all good. Change is in the air.

Anyway here's my art.

Slide 1: 'Southwestern'. This sneakily made its way to all platforms. Its also on the Ep i dropped last month which will hit all that streaming stuff in April. im super proud of this song and kind of don't know how i made it when i loaten back sometimes.

slide 2: This is the best photo I've ever taken in my life. it's looks so emotionally heavy because, well, it was an incredibly candid moment thats continued to inform alot of my life as of late. Anyway the photo itself is kind of like a palpable time capsule. Love you 4ever @smalltoownmusic
Also i always wanted to rap on the 'heard em say' beat.

Slide 3: 'Get off' Another track off the EP. This was me trying to be Radiohead, but if they made experimental R&B. i want to play this live again.

Slide 4: Yet another track from the 'New Skin' EP. I made this with the homie @rooney___toones and its called 'Your Regime'
This one is tricky. its like house/ future pop/ rap/ and dancefloor all combined. its some real alien shit that im, again, incredibly proud of and also confused as to where i found 60+ hours to pour into making it. It'll be on streaming with the rest of the EP soon.

Slide 5: Unreleased track that made me feel like bon iver. I could sing when i recorded this. i cant sing anymore. Maybe I'll drop this on my Bandcamp soon.

Slide 6: This is the end song breakdown of an unreleased track i made. I love transitions and when a song breaksdown all of its tiny melodies and morphs into something totally different. i think music is at its purest form in those moments. Between the guitar riffs, and liquid drum sounds you can hear me and @smalltoownmusic wailing in the background. Kosher by @justin____christopher

Language is being weaponized in so many extremely subtle ways with hopes that you adopt perspectives that aren't entirely your own. Every day is a battle for your lucidity. i made this out of frustration with that fight..#artist #dallasartist #diymusician #explorepage by @justin____christopher

So last month I finally let go of 5 songs i'd made over the past few years that I loved and kept in this folder named "to be determined".

Lately releasing art is an extremely vulnerable thing for me to do. theres few things that scream "plight of human" more than wanting to be percieved but being paralyzed by the fear of how you're actually seen..

I wanted to get past that fear by putting out the perfect little piece of art that i could, and in the process form a narrative, and manifest momentum or some kind of social approval. This is far from perfect, in fact its purposely flawed.

What it actually is is a real, gritty snapahot of my life the past few years told through the PA system of exaggerated thought and memory. Its fitting the title track is titled 'Remember'.

TLDR:
Here are 8 records that i think i loved the most the past few years, that I also needed to let go of so i can move forward with this experiment and stop over thinking, toxic loving, and stalling.

Title:
NEW SKIN

8 songs

rough,beautiful, ugly, and heavy.

All sounds/vocals/production/mixing/crying/late night disturbances/mastering/birthing by me with the exception of Ad libs by @smalltoownmusic on the track 'Cork Screw', her ghost whispers on the big Alt pop bomb 'Your Regime', which was also co-produced by big lil homie @rooney___toones !! Thank youuu

Cheers to letting go.
You know where to find the link.

I dropped Roundabout Dreams featuring @smalltoownmusic exclusively on @bandcamp last week and I'm extremely grateful for everyone who took a chance by listening and even buying the song. Today is Bandcamp Friday's which means all of the proceeds go directely to the artist so you can really help keep yours truly in the game, and creating if you decided to donate a dollar or two 🤏🏿

I'm super excited to show you guys this next phase of my music. keep hanging innnnnn by @justin____christopher

This is a reoccurring dream I've been having for the past 2 weeks. I've never had dreams repeat before so I decided to recreate it to try and pull some meaning or something..

This song is out on my Bandcamp. Link in that bio box
