First Look: Dark Matter Album Art

Before the official reveal on October 15, I wanted to give you an early glimpse of the Dark Matter album art.

The photo and artwork are by the brilliant Anna Haas, with makeup by Bennett Jason from Revelhaus. Together, they transformed a loose, dreamy concept into something vivid and cosmic, turning me into a glowing nebula. It’s a rare gift to work with artists who can take a half-formed idea and shape it into a stunning vision.


Dark Matter & Space Between the Stars!

My new merch store is open now with new designs!

🌌 When it feels so hard, keep on trying

I don't think I've ever worked this hard in my life, and I mean that in the best way. I feel tired, but satisfied, because it’s the kind of tired that comes from pouring everything you have into something you love.

If you've been with me since the beginning, thank you for staying with me all these years. What a wild, beautiful ride it's been. If you're new here, welcome! I'm so glad you found your way to my music.

Thank you for spending time with me. I'm so grateful for all your support.

See you in the bright hue & shadow, stargazers.

Shadow War: Singularity album cover

🌌 Dream Signals: January 16, 2026 Shadow War: Singularity Out now! Listen Here! My new single, Shadow War: Singularity, arrives today and I’m so excited to finally share it with you. This version of the song was a collaboration with Aaron Berg (Mountainwalker) and it feels more like a dance, which is appropriate to the song. I drew a lot from Frankenstein and the golems of Jewish mythology. I think I've often felt a bit like a creature, an odd mix of parts that don't quite fit, a clumsy mess...
