Thank you to everyone who has been watching the music videos and streaming the singles from my new album SOFTCORE — coming 6.7.24 on Kill Rock Stars. We still have 3 more songs and videos to release before the record hits in June, so stay tuned for more G A Y.
Last year at this time some dude was absolutely nuking my life. Feels so long ago and far away — and I couldn’t be happier now so, like…who cares? But at the time, my reaction was to go inward, work out compulsively, and make stuff. It all felt incredibly bleak and humiliating, the only thing I could think to do was create, collaborate, and eat bean and cheese burritos. I ate hundreds.
When the smoke cleared, a tall handsome man was standing in front of me. He scooped me up, became my friend, then my Creative Director and photographer, then oops we fell in love, and now we are engaged to be married. Life is fun and good.
Casey took this pic of me in the back room of some nightclub in Idaho on the day we wrapped the SOFTCORE film. I look proud here because I was. Proud and grateful. Still am. 🖤
Watch + Listen to the SOFTCORE singles and videos, out now! Appreciate you being here. Truly.

Mister Bear is back home after graduating from a month in around-the-clock boarding school training for baby doggos. We went to boot camp with him every few days throughout the experience so both dads are kinda fried but little dude is such a good boi now!
Had the pleasure of chatting with Lyndsey Havens for Billboard Magazine about our work at Pass the Mic with Portugal. The Man, boygenius, Lucy Dacus, NOFX, Re:SET Concert Series and others.
