New Music Release: A Small Quagmire by Thrill Behind Barks

Lovers of weird, atmospheric horror movies will love the latest release A Small Quagmire from my experimental ambient band Thrill Behind Barks, available on Human Geography Recordings.

Laced with a dense texture of dark blooms and bizarre twings and twangs, A Small Quagmire twitches its way through a delightfully random series of sonic spaces that will leave the listener feeling uneven, haunted, and in pretty bad need of a hug.

This is another one I see a lot on Facebook and Reddit. The questions usually go like this:

So what are you supposed to do?

Music Alert! New Synthwave Teaser

Back in the studio working on new material for my synthwave project Perfect Female Type! This one’s inspired by video game music from the early 90s. I’m using more PCM synths like the Korg M1.

This next Perfect Female Type album is keeping it synthwave while taking bold steps into the 90s. Stay tuned! ✨

Music Video Alert: Bizarre Faith by Perfect Female Type

Just dropped a new music video for the song Bizarre Faith from my synthwave project Perfect Female Type. Bizarre Faith is a naked love letter to late 80s New Order.

I’m very new to performing my own vocals. Feels good to stretch a new muscle.

Excited to work with video directors on my next album! For this one I used stock footage from Adobe, Storyblocks, Pixabay, and Pexels.

Music Alert: Wet Circuits by Perfect Female Type

I’m crazy stoked to announce the release of my debut synthwave album Wet Circuits!

I’ve only been recording as Perfect Female Type for a few short months, but it’s already taken over my life. I joined forces with the mighty electronic music label Record Club for the release and collaborated with the hugely talented vocalist Diana Inez.

Wet Circuits is available now on all music platforms, including Spotify, Bandcamp, and SoundCloud. Rad!
