about

I started the Dark Bird project back in 2006 with the debut album Long Gone. I had a live band with Olde Nightrifter (Eiyn Sof), Tim Whitley, and Stephen Keeping (Squirrel, Sadoceanspacebear). Life got busy with a growing family, and although we hit the ground running with a handful of appearances at the Tranzac club in Toronto, among other venues (2006/2007), Dark Bird has remained my home recording project and has had many faces over the years.

This new album, Out of Line, started to form at the beginning of the Pandemic in 2020. I had plans to make Dark Bird a full band again, rehearse the songs and then take the project into the studio for the first time, but the pandemic happened. So once again I recorded at home. I worked hard to make this album as big as possible, using all the crazy 2020 energy I could to bring this album to life. This album shows off the many faces of Dark Bird as one, fully formed, unified sound.

The end result is this 9 song album, Out of Line, my most personal and political work yet and a step forward in the quality of my home production. It continues in the tradition of my other song-based albums; "Long Gone" (2007), Come Home (2010) and Lay Low (2018).
