Tender Carpenter EP (2023)

A mixed-genre EP that explores queer desire by playing with the boundaries of style and the gendered voice, acoustic and synthetic, surface and subtext. Recorded with electric guitar in 19-tone equal temperament, the tracks hybridize rock, jazz and electronic influences, situating spoken and sung fragments from an 'envelope poem' by Emily Dickinson.
