5 years ago, I called @brandonfehderau for the first time about a new song I wanted to record. It wasn’t a full band song, it was raw, honest, and felt real. He said absolutely, and when I walked into @mkondo.studio he handed me this tiny acoustic he bought for $100 and said use this. “Unaware” turned out to be the catalyst for my solo chapter, and is still one of my favs to play live.

The next day I remember driving over to meet @someone at his condo to shoot this album art. After about 90 minutes he said “grab this light and put it behind you for a sec”. Low and behold we got this gorgeous shot.

Unaware was written during a transitional point in my life. It’s about being lost, wandering, after many years of being in a relationship that eventually drifts apart. While melancholy in tonality, I always find hope in the words, and I think listeners do to.

“So unaware of what’s around me
Between these eyes
Let’s get out of this situation
Sing me a line
From the melody that surrounds you
Hoping to find
Someone out there who would listen
To the words occupied
In your heart of hearts
It feels so alive”

15 years ago TODAY Moglee opened for @thejunctionband at @uofwaterloo 🤯 Not only was this a big day for us in the band, but this day forged a lot of friendships that still last today. This was one of our first big gigs with @someone snapping the pics, @markwillms and I chatting with @waxy_snacks about how he wrote “Frequencies” and “Components of Four” and I’m pretty sure @zubin_t was floating around the show that night. What a time. Simpler times. Best. 🙌

Picture perfect all around you Hide away your tear

Picture perfect all around you
Hide away your tears
Hold it close to feel surrounded
Fighting back the fears
Nice to know you're not alone
As currents disappear
Give it everything you have
To keep the fire near

Wandering in somewhere typical
And I know that she knows
No need to think you're invisible
This I know that she knows

There's a window just right there
A way to the other side
Falling leaves called to the ground
And ghosts just walk on by
Picture perfect all around
Why's Tiffany so blue
I don't mean to interfere
I hope one day it's clear

Wandering in somewhere typical
And I know yeah I know
Maybe she likes being invisible
And she knows that I know
Wandering in somewhere typical
And I know that she knows
There's no pressure when you're invisible
And you know that she knows

Picture perfect all around you
Hide away your tears
Supplemental dreams
And now the clock strikes a new year

*Tiffany’s Blue*

Do you enjoy mountain hikes as much as @pthalo.ziz

Do you enjoy mountain hikes as much as @pthalo.zizi? Looking for an epic indie-country playlist to accompany your hike? I made a playlist over on @spotify of my favourite modern artists that inspire moi.

From indie behemoths like @timmytychilders @missmargoprice @sierraelizabethferrell and @colterwall to Canadian legends in the making like @williamprince @allisonrussellmusic and @juliantaylormusic. Some of my favourite underground troubadours like @riddyarman @jrmillerwv @matthewkfowler and @vincentneilemerson are in there too, not to mention Ontario pals @zacharylucky @mattpaxton @brockmattsson @cjwileyy and @jeremiealbino.

Glass Box Crime began as a “letter” to Toronto

Glass Box Crime began as a “letter” to Toronto City Hall regarding the housing crisis that is affecting so many people around the GTA. The weaponization of the housing market and fallout that continues to occur is creating a divide that has evaporated the opportunity for an entire generation of young folks to own a home and establish security. Seeing it all unfold first hand (especially through C*vid) led to this song being written.

Glass Box Crime is also inspired by the work and efforts of Khaleel Seivwright - a local carpenter who stepped up and built shelters for those in desperate need during the winter months. The city deemed this illegal and had them removed by way of force, militarizing the city police and evacuating people living in the parks leaving them stranded. This egregious use of power by the city using the very service aimed at protecting and serving us sets a precedent for the future, one we should all be alarmed to move closer towards.
