Big update time. Here we go!

Music stuff

Releases:

• Today, I’m releasing a new Options record called Beast Mode. I began work on this record in 2021 and completed it in 2024. This album is the spiritual big brother of On The Draw, expanding upon that process and taking it into the next dimension. I love this album and I’m thrilled to finally share it with you!
  You can purchase it digitally via Bandcamp. If you give it a listen today and have access to a car, make sure to play it loud with the windows down — this record was made to be listened to in that way.

Recording:

• My studio Ohmstead is moving! I’ve been a part of the studio since 2021 (it’s been around since 2016 in other iterations) and I’ve made a lot of records that are dear to me, in the current room.
  The space we’re in now was, up until earlier this year, a studio called Kingsize — an under-the-radar mainstay in Chicago, over a couple of iterations since the 2000s. Couldn’t be more excited about the transition, and no doubt I’ll have more to share about this soon.
  The new space features a live room with 20-25ft ceilings, isolated control room, a small iso room, a larger iso room ideal for drums. Amenities include a ton of natural light, a kitchenette/additional tracking room, and a private bathroom. It’s really Live Tracking Heaven and I can’t wait to start tracking!

• If you want to book with me, this is a great time to reach out! I have a bit of open time in early July, in the back half of August, and beyond.

Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoy the record, and more to share soon!
