“I am, I think, I will…”

ANTHEM is a brand new Meaningwave EP featuring lyrics adapted from Ayn Rand’s classic 1937 novella of the same name. Specifically chapter 11.

It struck me on reading it that chapter 11 was written in the manner of a song. As far as I can tell, it is the anthem to which the title refers - the core of Rand’s philosophy and conclusions, compressed like a diamond into a punctilious 878 words, delivered like one great hymn…

I took those 878 words, and made three very distinct songs -

I AM, I THINK, I WILL

MY TREASURES

And

THE TEMPLE OF HIS SPIRIT

These make up the EP, ANTHEM and you can enjoy that now on the platform of your choosing. The full visuals are on YouTube.

The record was created in collaboration with The Atlas Society, who flew me out to Miami earlier this month to perform the whole thing at their annual gala. You can see some footage of this on their Instagram.

I also performed the opening track live on Blaze Media’s NORMAL WORLD show. You can check the full show and including my interview here, and they also uploaded the set as a separate video here.

MEANWHILE!

We just hit 88888 subs on YouTube. I am sure this is most auspicious, and thus I duly… note… it…

ALSO!

If you listen to us mostly on Spotify, you will not have had a notification, or any of our new music pushed to your Release Radar playlist for a few weeks, for some reason. As always, if you want to make sure you don’t miss anything, make sure you’re on the mailing list. Which, if you’re reading this as a result of being on the mailing list, you are. Congratulations!

FINALLY

There will be no new release on all platforms next week due to a hiccup with our distributor. There will, however, be new music videos and maybe even a mixtape dropping on the YouTube and Bandcamp, so worry not.

We continue to strive to create the soundtrack to your ultimate existence in this mortal realm… and beyond…

LOVE TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!
