#TWERPVERSE is out now 🎷
releasing a record always feels kind of funny, like i just donated all of my possessions and gotta start over from zero. it’s a good clean feeling though. thanks for all the kind words so far and hope you get what you need from this album. it took us a while but we really loved making it for u.

Song # 2 off ‘Twerp Verse’ is out today! go check it out via <3 @thefader <3 thanks for the kewl words Jordan Darville!

“'Lean In When I Suffer’ is about that fun breed of 'ally’ who wears out their already exhausted friends by relying on us for excessive emotional labor. They want props for their wokeness, but don’t want to put in any actual work or divest themselves of power […] and shut down when you try to talk them through their problematic tendencies. Because #selfcare? So you’re stuck in a toxic vampiric loop trying to maintain a relationship–Lean In AND Suffer, why don’t you!”

another adventure in WHAT NOT TO DO VIA EMAIL OR EVER to a professional musician, or any stranger you see doing their job. this may be a shocker, but i did not become a full time touring musician to date your friend B/W must be wild to have the confidence of a man. this is why i take like a week to reply to my work emails on tour; there are so many weird & shitty ones mixed in, my anxiety skyrockets
