hi everyone!! i'm so happy to state that my new album, LOVE IS MY WEAKNESS, is releasing june 13th 2026!! wow!! that's in like 3 whole weeks i think
you can view the crossfade on youtube to get a feel for the tracks
i wanted to talk about it a little more in depth, since the development cycle and how i got here was initially in a very different form.
i started working on it thematically alongside the tail end of MtEEHt's development cycle back in april of last year, and continued to creatively work on LIMW until this year in march. i finished all the mixing and mastering this month.
a lot happened to me in this time frame. the biggest one is the loss of my closest companion, dagwood, who had been by my side for almost a decade and got me through some of the roughest periods of my life. part of my soul was cremated with him. it's why i wanted to write about love in the first place, because he showed me that unconditionally.
the album is loosely conceptual. MtEEHt told a very specific story, about a girl named Marie Palmira, her experiences, her trauma, her ascension into a cosmic being. LIMW instead goes into a different direction: single track concepts with a theme of love. a user falling in love with a chatbot. the ancient myth of the red string, and it tying you to an awful person. robot yaoi. cycles.
there were more tracks. it was initially called DELPHINIUM. everything i changed and scrapped made me sick to look at and listen to, and i almost entirely scrapped the album. i had considered it a wash and was preparing to start over.
but then i looked at all the work i did. the concepts i was so proud of. the story i wanted to tell. the initial reason why i wanted this album to be about love in the first place.
so, i kept the concept songs, spun them together under a new coat of paint, and titled it LOVE IS MY WEAKNESS because that's what it felt like.
to heal and to move forward, i need to take this song package and move it forward into the world, to show everyone this piece of my heart.
