New Single and Album Announcement


Hello earth. Today was a good day to put out a single. Some BirdsReturn. It’s a collaboration with author Courtney Jensen to accompany his next book in his fantasy series. His first book, The Crown and the Caged God is out now available on Amazon or Bonstanbooks.com. This song takes place in a medieval type world, sung in a tavern after mourning the loss of a desolated city. I promise it sounds much more cheerful than that description. We tried to emulate what happens with oral traditions overs generations, where words often get changed or misinterpreted. So we passed the song around a few times between each other without truly seeing the written original lyrics. Courtney is a great writer and I promises the book is not your average fantasy novel. So please check out all he is up to at CourtneyJensen.com and his youtube channel.

I also wanted to announce my next album, Extraterrestrial Wet Dream which should be out before the year’s end. It’s a funk/soul/disco/jazz album. I know... a total left turn from the previous album. But this it the point of these albums. To try new things. The inspiration started from late night jams with my punk band’s (Born Shit Stirrers) founding member Paul Blair on bass

Special guest will all be announced soon, but so far we have, Trevor Brown on drums of People of the Abyss. Our first album together with him on drums in16 years, since our time together in the hip hop band Lost History. Also long time collaborator Jan Bart Leeuw adding keys and samples and Melisa Delgado on viola.

I hope you enjoy these releases. We all put a lot of work into them.

Love, Lum
