Radiant textures and melodies over deep, head-nodding beats and dirty analog basslines – the perfect soundtrack for a midnight drive through the desert. Over three years in the making, “The Wave Function” is the result of my continuing immersion in San Francisco music and art communities. My eyes and ears are always being turned on to something new and strange and beautiful, and I hope you’ll be able to hear some of that in these songs. I am eternally thankful for all of the support and encouragement that has made this music possible, and I hope you’ll enjoy listening as much as I’ve enjoyed making it.

Released simultaneously with “The Wave Function”, these are four tracks of evolving textures with skronked-up basslines and slow, funky breakbeats – harder-edged than what’s on the album, but still with the right amount of bliss factor dialed in.

Wow. From Archie McPhee: “Toast is great, but it’s hard to keep in your pocket. So what do you do when you crave the warm comfort of toast but don’t want to deal with the crumbs? You pull out your Inflatable Toast, blow it up and admire its realistic toasty goodness! Each soft vinyl slice of toast is 6″ tall and has a standard inflation valve.” Get yours today!
