Wowowowowow! We cannot tell you how excited & blessed we are that our 10th studio album “is” is OUT NOW!
I like that the word “is” itself is a simple symbol indicating presence. We all see & use the word “is” many times every single day, but it’s rare to see it by itself. It began calling out to me as we were making this record, because time & time again, when I would seek an explanation for something, I would get a hit from the universe that it just “is what it is,” We tried to let the universe speak through us by experiencing the music, following its lead until the path became clearer & clearer, ultimately bringing us here to what is.
We hoped that, if we could REALLY let ourselves go and merge with the divine where everything is connected, that the music that emerged could perhaps truly end up being what is REALLY needed to best serve reality as it “is” NOW...and perhaps thru doing that, serving that NOW just as it is, we could simultaneously perform some magic trick to help better shape the world towards what we hope and believe it could ultimately be. Peace. Love. Healing. Unity.
How grateful we are for the gift of music-connecting us all to that larger fabric of love / god / universal consciousness. I truly believe we are all made of the same stuff, we all come from and will return to the same divine place, and music is perhaps the greatest reminder we have of that universal love and connection here on earth. May this music be helpful to you, may it bring you peace and joy - NOW & all your days.
Thanks and so much love to Brendan O’Brien who produced the album, Silvia who shot the album artwork, all of our wonderful team of folks at Mick Management, and @atorecords who helped bring the album to the world!
