I don't really want to climb these hills alone


My dear friend Derek, who goes by the moniker First Nations, has graciously released a split album of his work and my work on his record label, Lazer Moses.

My tracks are revised older material. My new recording setup as revolutionized my abilities to capture sound. You may recognize House Painter from the Love Dogs EP, although it has been generally reworked. Vampires is one of my oldest songs. I have finally broken down under the weight of requests to make a new recording available.

Both of the First Nations tracks are absolutely incredible.

SLOW HORNS
1. Royal Blood - First Nations
2. Wooden Half Arrow - First Nations
3. House Painter - Tyler Butler
4. Vampires - Tyler Butler

I Have A Baby In My Arms

I'm excited to announce that I will be joined onstage at the Old Ugly Circus on December 13th by Liam Trimble, curator of ill-fitting garments, and Amy Macdonald, fabled mistress of metallic foliage. They will be lending their varied instrumental talents and strong vocal capabilities to my songs. Hope to see you there.

Circus Horse

"In Ancient Rome the circus was a building for the exhibition of horse and chariot races, equestrian shows, staged battles, displays featuring trained animals, jugglers and acrobats."

I am putting out a record with Old Ugly. Look for an official announcement on the website.

Ugly Lazers.


I am doing a split record with First Nations. It is called Slow Horns. I am contributing two songs.

Slow Horns is coming out on Lazer Moses. That is a great label in Grande Prairie. Feral Horse will be coming out on different terms. More information is pending.

Our Little Girl

I am old and ugly: I am confirming these facts.

I am writing and writing, but school is slowing the process. I am writing and writing for school.
