“Behind the White Noise” is a very special record for me because it deals with mental health, something I’ve struggled with for most of my life.

“Behind the White Noise” is a very special record for me because it deals with mental health, something I’ve struggled with for most of my life.

The ten song collection features characters that are a composite of myself and people I have known. Each one is dealing with some sort of emotional trauma, overwhelming anxiety, body dysmorphia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, disassociation, or crippling depression.

Despite the subject matter, this record is not a compilation of slow tempo dirges. There are some rockers, some cool beats, some fun twists, and some nods to my influences.

Writing these songs and highlighting the struggles and bravery of these characters was very therapeutic for me. The album ends on neither a note of hopelessness or hope, but rather one of camaraderie. “Everyone is a soldier here.”

This record is dedicated to everyone bravely fighting their own war.

The Lost Season Sessions Vol.4: Let It Burn

Ted Mccloskey

“Let It Burn” is the 4th and final installment of the Lost Season Sessions. It’s about coming out of isolation and finally getting outside. However, the rush to go back to everything we’ve been estranged from comes with a price. There’s trouble in the flora, fauna and lost souls that haunt the last, longest mile.

"I pull open the curtains
As the sunlight returns
I quickly go from sun starved
To completely sun burnt"

The Lost Season Sessions Vol. 3: Waiting for the Cavalry

Ted Mccloskey

“Waiting for the Cavalry” is the third and latest installment of the Lost Season Sessions. It's about eagerly awaiting an ending and the doubt and lack of patience that goes along with it.

“Waiting for the Cavalry” is the third and latest installment of the Lost Season Sessions. It's about eagerly awaiting an ending and the doubt and lack of patience that goes along with it. This six song set (an EP thanks to emergency surgery) is a little departure in sound from the last record. Lush, dreamlike backdrops blanket a harsh reality and although the words seem firmly entrenched in the present, the themes (as with the other Lost Season Sessions records) are universal.

I am incredibly proud to have produced such a pretty record in such a short period of time.
