YSMC is finishing an EP at The Fort Studio, in Brooklyn, NY.
I'm also working on A Nightly Reprieve, an album of home recordings that will be available as a handmade CD package and LP by year's end. Devin Kerr will be mastering these songs at his studio in Ann Arbor, MI. I hope to make some of these tracks available for download from this site in the coming weeks.
In regards to ordering records from me, simply tell me what you'd like and paypal $5 to hoensean@hotmail.com. I'll be glad to ship whatever is available. The only TOI items I have are the anthology CDs. Thanks.

Managed to pull together 6 or 7 songs in the span of a couple December weeks. Started recording in my Brooklyn apartment and finished them in a Michigan kitchen with several dear friends. We'll be releasing a free download of these songs in the next couple months. Hopefully there will be more to come.

My friend Daniel Johnson wrote a very kind anecdote about the song "We Two Are," from The Liquor Witch. It is posted on his blog Foneculture. It means something to me to receive such generous words from a musician and writer like Dan who has, with his own project Judah Johnson, released some very amazing, very underappreciated work.
