Aggression is a short album that explores themes like knifeplay, attempted suicides, allergies, and the public school system. The songs are set to the soundtrack of upbeat pop music crossed with analog and digital noise solos.
This song took me six years to complete. Enjoy!

The beautiful cover for Aggression was created by David Hobizal. The Shikes also have a colorful website that’s worth 30 seconds of your time. My suggestion is to repeately hit the word “Colorize.” Many thanks to my good friend Mike Strosaker for helping me out with the site.

Three years ago, I was lucky enough to produce Jesse Hester’s new record. Now, it’s going to be available at Good Records, of Polyphonic Spree fame. Sweet.
Fantastic video of a thunderstorm captured and edited by David Hobizal which uses the final track on Slimline, by The Double Headed Seagulls.
