Today I’m overjoyed to share that BOYS TALKING is officially out everywhere!

For the past 18 months, this album has lived hand to hand before platform to platform. Across merch tables. In record shops. In small rooms and big rooms. Through the USPS. On the radio. In conversations after shows.
That was intentional.

This record began with grief. Like grief, I couldn’t let it “just drop.”
The songs needed time to be sung in, sat with, held, and sung back before entering the abyss in the palm of our hands. Your hand right now!

BOYS TALKING is about generational healing. About what happens when we try to say the things that weren’t modeled for us. It’s about learning to talk- even when it’s messy. Especially then.

I made this album surrounded by people I trust deeply and was safe knowing I was the least talented person in the room.
Produced by myself and @brophydrums , Engineered by @jbmoney33, Mixed & Mastered by @djamesgoodwin , Photography by @paddycakes_piasecki, Art work by Joy Wu.
Featuring magical performances from @alisaamador , @julianahatfield , @dannybones64 @fabiolamendezmusic @kevinbarryguitar , @rohrjames , @codynilsen , @a.sternmusic , @fancyassmusic, @joewmcmahon , @mrjessedee , @moepope , @dearleader , @barrettabbie , Jef Charland, @crisdris, @melissaferrick & Susan Minichiello.

Thank you to everyone who carried these songs early. The record stores. The radio champions. The venues. The crews. The photographers. The designers. The friends who opened doors and hearts.

And to you who showed up in rooms and let these songs grow at human speed: thank you for making this digital release day feel alive long before today.
PS: One song will always live only on the physical copy. A reminder that not everything has to be everywhere.
Streaming now. Vinyl still spinning. Spring shows announced!
Your path to listen is down below. All that and onward forever….
Thank you ❤️🦅🦒🕺🏻

Extracts from WIP work ADS3 25/26
Postindustrial Intimacies: Companions on Disturbed Lands

Brent River Beavers, Aiden Dutton (ADS3, 25/26)

London’s Borough of Ealing sits within the low-lying Brent River catchment, where flooding has been recorded for centuries as a natural outcome of local ecology and geology. Eurasian Beavers were the area’s original ecosystem engineers, shaping wetlands and slowing flows through dam-building and canal networks. Since their extinction in London over 400 years ago, post-industrial infrastructure has failed to prevent major flood events. This project investigates how beaver-led rewilding—demonstrated at Paradise Fields since 2022—can inform a shift toward living with water through dynamic, soft floodplain systems. It asks how beaver “architectures” could transform Brent River Park into a more effective functional floodplain while enhancing urban biodiversity.

✨ We're at the Design Museum! ✨ Our SustainLab RCA installation proposal 'The Tree of Kindness' has been shortlisted for the Design Museum x Opportunity Kensington Reusable Christmas Tree Competition 🎄💚 @designmuseum @highstreet_kensington

The shortlisted proposals — including ours — are now on display at the Reusable Christmas Tree Exhibition at the Design Museum from 3 Dec 2025 – 4 Jan 2026.

‘The Tree of Kindness’ reimagines the Christmas tree as a symbol of community, generosity & circular design. Made from reclaimed solar panel materials, its modular rings and magnetic triangular panels create a flexible, demountable structure designed with sustainability at its core.

At its base, shelves, hooks and display spaces invite visitors to share books, clothing or small gifts, transforming the installation concept into a community exchange hub — a festive celebration of shared kindness. 🎁✨

Much Love to the OG Special Sauce. Just landed from Berlin and these photos came up in my memories from over the years. Was great to get the old Houseman aka Jeffrey Clemens @drummerjeffreyclemens back in the saddle for three shows- Jeff is making some amazing records these days in Nashville and not touring with GLaSS anymore but we are all family and the bond is forever strong. Here with our dear old godfather @jimmybuffett also with @jeremypiven @kelseyvogue @donavon_frankenreiter @chefboay @billydec @mennovrsls @lgdiv_ @grundymatt @adriancota and featuring my new single “Weekends are for making LOVE” love you longtime 😻some shots by Brandon Finney and @paulcitone @kaelanbarowsky
