New Album “Free” Coming November 2026!

"The Song of the Lonely Siren"

Out everywhere August 14th, 2026

"The Song of the Lonely Siren" is the lead single of my forthcoming album "Free", which will be out in November.

"The Song of the Lonely Siren" is a song based on the work of my dear friend and artist Bianca Radulescu-Banu (IG: @puddlewanders) - a zine titled "The Tale of the Lonely Siren". She gave me a copy of it back in 2024 and I found it so deeply inspiring that I decided to pour that inspiration into the creation of this song, telling the story of a siren and the duality of being a wicked soul secretly longing for love.

This song features Dan McAllister on lead guitar, Colin Holmes on rhythm guitar, and was mastered by Mat Leffler-Schulman.
