ALL OF US FLAMES is out today Making something you’re proud of with your friends is one of the best feelings in the world. So is knowing that there are other people in the world who will really love it. The feeling of gratitude is overwhelming. It hits me in waves and knocks me flat. To the people who made it with me. To the people who listen to our music whose fandom sustains us financially and spiritually. To the friends in my life who love me and help me through the hard parts of a life in music. To the countless people who collaborate on the brass tacks of making this band happen, making it viable and letting it thrive. To my whole family, of origin and of choice, without whom I could not survive. There is so much to say. And yet I hope this album speaks for itself. If you find this music to be of value, I ask you to buy it if you can. (We also made, with @sleepykittymusic , a marvelous little Listener’s Companion book called None Of Us Ashes, full of a pretty pictures and a million little thoughts from me about where the album comes from and what it might mean.) If you would like to do anything else to honor the occasion, please donate to @translifeline , a crisis hotline for and by trans people And/or @transemergencyfund , critical assistance for low-income trans people in Massachusetts Here’s to a future in which we can survive and thrive, in which we care for each other and are cared for in turn. Here’s to fucking hope, in spite of it all. Ezra
