God Rot
Written in collaboration with Baltimore, MD composer Samuel Garrett, God Rot is an experimental, narrative opera about a powerful entity that assumes several different archetypal, mythic identities in the twilight of its lifespan – the avenging angel, the betrayed lover, and a god. The opera explores the complex interplay of myth and identity; the intellectual, cultural, and spiritual production that follows; and how these aspects collectively come to define or destroy subjectivities.
Forthcoming.
Uniform - American Standard
Since their inception over a decade ago, Uniform has pushed its work in all kinds of directions, unafraid of dismantling what they built and starting again. Their explorations have always come from a natural bent to keep on trying and to realize their ideas more purely each time, often bringing the darkest of nightmares into life in the process. Intimidatingly prolific, the band continues to move like a shark, never stopping for fear of creative death.
Their 2024 release, American Standard is a journey of visceral discomfort and brutal honesty channeled through a portrait of sickness and the thrilling transcendence it can bring. Presented alongside a two-drummer rhythmic onslaught and deceptively melodic songcraft, it is Uniform’s most ambitious album to date.
Lyrics written in collaboration between vocalist Michael Berdan and authors Maggie Siebert and B.R. Yeager.
