Good morning and happy April 2nd!

Y’all didn’t really think that yesterday’s announcement was all there was did ya?
😄😉😄😜

Without further ado, it gives us great pleasure to announce our second full-length album “Begin Again” will be coming out Friday, June 20th!!!

We will be throwing an album-release party on the same day in a very interesting space — more details to come soon on that front.

This album has been a long time coming and we’re so excited to share it with you all very soon!

A gigantic thank you Brian Lauri and Jim Houle for working hard on this new project with us and providing a wonderful positive environment in which to create. Y’all have been invaluable to making both of these projects sound and look divine!

A special thank you to one of our favorite creative minds, Sadie May, for delivering another beautiful feast for the eyes! Sadie, you’re always such a treat to work with, and we are beyond grateful for all the time that you put into making something unique and special.💖

We hope in the meantime y’all enjoy “The Clock ‸Still Has Problems” as much as we are.

Infinite love as always 💕💕💕

🚨New Album Release!!!🚨

Hey Fellow Transients,

Big news!

We just dropped our new album and it’s available now on all streaming platforms!!!

We are tremendously proud to share this labor of love with you, so that it might give back as much joy as we had making it.

A huge thank you to SOL Productions LLC and Lions Den Studios for working so hard with us to make something truly special for us and you. Y’all are the cat’s pajamas!

It’s been a long time coming, and countless days and hours spent in the studio. With this new vision finally realized, our spirits and energy are soaring like that of the eagle! 🦅

Our sights are set toward horizon and our hearts are full of rich creamy peanut butter!

We hope that you enjoy this rollercoaster of emotions and sweet tender cupcakes 🧁

The experience was incredible. Almost 4 long hours of adjusting a camera every few minutes in the cold dark of night while this celestial event took place above our heads, was something special. I see these compositions all over the place and now I’m thrilled to be able to create my own and share it for others to enjoy!

What a spectacular experience! Not as crisp as I’d hoped the lens would be, but good enough! 🩸🌕

I suppose this wouldn’t be considered “downtime” work, but when we’re not filming music on location for music and such .. we’re still capturing beauty in all forms! PRODUCT sessions with Spoiled Fur Baby Creations!! If you have any small pets i.e. guinea pigs or bunnies .. HOP on over to their page, explore, and buy some stuff! 😊🐰🐹

A few times a year, we are involved with producing these fantastic events hosted by Grasshopper Farms at Whistler Ridge Farms with music from Half Past Dead and great local concessions and crafters, and much more! The parties are growing beautifully and so is the production and the fun! Check out a little bit of concert lighting from this past Harvest Hangout '24 back in October!

Special thanks to Christopher Watkins on the video control to give you folks a little more close-up of the solos, the dancing, and the silly smirks from the drummer! 😆

Thanks to everyone who has shown up and been a part of the events!
