New Marshweed record as of April 2025! Most of these tunes reference different facets of my life in LA, and the different ways of connecting to other entities around me. Hence, the title. Living in the sprawling metropolis of Los Angeles, meaningful contact is at a premium. Even when I am surrounded by people I know well, noteworthy interactions seem rare.

BUT! important interactions are common, daily! with critters and plants, and soil. Such nature may seem at odds with living in a big city, but it's everywhere. Does it mean that I am anti-social, even non-humanistic, when I say that much of my meaningful contact with others occurs with insects or with the plants they live on, fly around, end up sleeping in, coddled by the petals of whatever bloom they have lit upon to spend the night?

So it may be. But encountering a fly sleeping on a lavender leaf in the early morning, before the sun has warmed its tiny fly joints or graced its multi-faceted eyeballs, does make you look at flies a little differently.
