20/20 (2025 Remaster)
14 songs (48:14)
released March 18, 2025
I recently remastered all of the songs and remixed about half of them from my 20/20 album and re-released it today, with the original song titles, a couple of my other singles also included and remixed, and a few extra bells and whistles. Very happy to have this thing out there in its final form with the original titles and a better overall sonic experience.
Thanks to my friends and family who helped me get back into the art of writing and recording back in 2020, and contributed to tracks on this album: Matt Fauller, Nick DeSantis, Tedd Tjornhom, Matt Tahaney, Jamie Anderson, John D. Fauller, and my mom Barbara Brewer.
This re-release goes out to the Tahaney family.

released February 23, 2024
Welcome to my ethereal story, featuring the lovely voice of Grimes on vocals, via GrimesAI and collaboration with Elf Tech.
I had wanted to do some songs with the GrimesAI vocal ever since I heard about it back in June, ‘23. I set to work on December 10th, and finished the project by the end of December.
This six-song EP is a story about a being struggling to cope with their own self awareness, humanity, and emotions. The story ends with a single flat-line note played on an organ, representing a heart that has stopped beating. This little work of sonic art is a prayer for those who suffer from the often-silent torture of mental illness.
I’m grateful to Grimes for allowing us to play with her voice. It was fun making these songs.
Guest
2 Songs (7:00)
released September 23, 2023
My latest single and B-side. These two songs feature the drumming of Steven Joyce on "Guest" & Jamie Anderson on "Not Jesse's Girl".
"Guest" paints a picture of two characters, and the feelings these characters might have when meeting for the first time; a bit of awkwardness, apprehension, insecurity, anxiety, but it's a peaceful, comfortable place and an easy feeling being with each other. By the end, they're friends.
The song started when we were commiserating about recording, I sat down one night with my electric guitar, created and recorded a guitar part with a scratch vocal, sent it over to Steve on dropbox, he started some first takes on the drums, and a song was born. We worked on it here and there for about six months, remotely.
"Not Jesse's Girl" started as a live guitar/drums jam with Jamie and I at my place back in November '22. It’s the story of a high school romance.

20/20 takes a look back to a historic year, full of change, pain, hope, and redemption. This album blends geysers of colorful guitars and synth tones, slinky and thick bass tracks, soulful, driving rhythms, and lush, memorable vocal passages; wrapped up in a pop/rock atmosphere reminiscent of early 2000s or late 90s alternative rock.
