TURQUOISE HERCULES DEMO 2024 NOW STREAMING

This Isn't Skateboarding. This Is Music.

Turquoise Hercules was conceived as a response to surroundings. Rather than creating a narrative that steers the listener toward a concrete resolve, Turquoise Hercules uses repetitive everyday phrases to evoke the seemingly infinite sprawl of the desert. The beauty is that you might find or lose yourself in it.

The blurb above was written by my good friend Jim Siegel (Vivid Oblivion & Raspberry Bulbs), who released a fantastic collection of songs in 2022. (link below)

Before we talk about Turquoise Hercules, you should listen to Vivid Oblivion The Graphic Cabinet immediately. Bonus: If you’re a 4AD fan you’ll enjoy the layout before you even hear a note.

Turquoise Hercules is my latest musical project. It’s up on various streaming platforms, including Deezer (WTF is Deezer?), but I linked to Spotify and Bandcamp below because people seem to use those more than Deezer.

I also made a shitty “video” for my favorite song of the five and you can watch that too. Do you ever mess around on Archive.org? I found some footage there and set it to “Age Hole.” It reminds me of being in science class and focusing on the hum of the projector and the film burns more than the topic at hand. I hope this doesn’t happen to you and you forget that a song is playing.

That’s it.

Currently, there is no vinyl pre-order or cassette or shirt printed on Comfort Colors, just five songs that I wrote, recorded, and played that have nothing to do with skateboarding.

Thank you for listening and maybe sharing the tracks.
