I’m really excited to finally get to announce WILD CUB to you guys. This is a brand new project I’ve been working on ever since we got back from tour this summer/fall. We’ve been in the studio recording a full length and 7″ that we are going to have pressed on hand-numbered collector vinyl and release this summer.

I’ll continue to be releasing plenty of amazing score and limited releases via my own name, but Wild Cub gives me a really cool unique way to explore some new ground and most importantly… continue to do exciting new projects that you can all hear.

We will be debuting this year at SXSW (3/14 & 3/15) and in Nashville at the “Road to Bonnaroo” night at Mercy Lounge on 3/26. You can check out wildcubmusic.com to follow the studio diary, and get a little sneak peak at all the things that inspired the new record.

While standing on the sidewalk outside of our Billy Reid Fashion Week showcase, the cell phone lit up and it was the amazing people at Facebook on the other end of the line. They were calling to ask if we could compose some music for their “Timeline” announcement video and be their featured Spotify artist in their highly anticipated announcement. Of course, that was an easy yes. Check out the video here and head over to facebook to see us featured on the “Timeline” announcement page.
