James Werick directed this feverish music video that unfolds with a deepfried cool between found footage, lip-sync, and improvised dance. We filmed it on Govenor's Island.
Simon Deschamps 3D scanned us with iPhones. He brought us to life like a puppet-master. We breakdance and I do the shopping cart while the world burns. It's a story you + I know well. This was a single for Salamander's debut L.P. titled [container].
We filmed this at Niagra Falls and Lake Ontario on iPhones. We felt like Marilyn Monroe.
This track was recorded in bedrooms in Brooklyn, NY. It features an ambiguous narrative centered on a character named Shadow. An abstracted acoustic guitar builds a bridge between the verses while lyrics describing Shadow's life solicit interpretation.

This is the debut Salamander E.P. Leo Frampton and I started writing this material in 2019 and started to record it in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic. We finished it in 2021 in Buffalo, NY with Arden Yonkers. The E.P. explores our shared interest in drinking water and making music.

This track was made while recording a (still unreleased) album during the thick of the COVID-19 quarantine. Cody Zusman and I co-wrote this track, and the chord progression blossomed as a mutation of a song I had brought into the sessions. I made the quasi-industrial, semi-dream-pop beat and guided the lyrical process, which was an exercise in collage, translation, and linguistic artifacting. Cody masterminded the production of all live instrumentation, giving it a lush yet icy feel. Cody went on to make this crazy music video with friends in Ithaca, N.Y. Released as a "You Bite With That" song.
