It’s true. The new album, Consider The Source, is finally done! It’s long overdue (for too many reasons to mention), but it will finally be released on May 18th. I’ll be posting more info in the coming days and weeks. Until then, here’s a free song for download….
This track, entitled “Idle Argument” is an organ-driven psych burner. It was my attempt at writing a “melt-yr-face-off” kinda song in the style of Goblin or a heavier, dirtier version of Lesiman. Pounding drums, 60’s style short-scale bass, tremolo fuzz madness, and a healthy dose of Space Echo. Add some horn bursts, some trippy ethereal vocals….slather on the magma-laden organ and BAM, it’s done!!!
In all honesty it really didn’t happen that fast. It was a demo for well over two years and really came together within the last few weeks of finishing the album. Joining me on the track are Kevin Robinson (Viva Voce, Blue Giant) on bass and Sebastian Bibb-Barrett (Federale) on trumpet. Infinite thanks to them both for helping me bring this track to life.
You can download the track here. It includes a 320k version, the artwork for the single and some notes. Thank you for listening. I hope you enjoy it with some friends.
Keep on, Keepin’ on

This is what I’ve been waiting for from PJ. This track is outstanding, we’ve been bumping in the office all day. Great track to work, chill, dance, inspire and get physical aka sweating to the oldies to.
Great job, and time well spent on this next album. One of Portland’s finest.
Dope, wasn’t sure what direction it was goin’ when just the drums started… well done!
Thanks fellas! More to come…
TUFF! Can’t wait to hear more, PJ.
Nice beats homestar
Brilliant, triumphant, spooky, and for some reason yet unknown to me polar bears, were words that came to my mind on the first listen. Can’t wait to hear the rest!
this is a very excellent joint. your beard is mighty, as is the beats.
For a tiny hairy man, you sure can raraRock.

You ever do any remixes? If so, I got something for you.
Nasty bro. This is all in your upstairs nook?!? Didn’t know you had horns like that…very dope!
@ComputerFAM – almost everything was recorded in the lab. the horns and bass were tracked AmorePhonics. Sebastian is an incredible trumpet player! thanks for listening!!!
