The new album from THIS MAD DESIRE, Passing Lanes of Fate, is now available HERE.

Composed over a few years since the Open Hearts Open Minds album, Passing Lanes of Fate explores themes of love and loss, fantasy, politics, John Wayne, Medusa, Valhalla, life and death, and so much more. A great many musicians were involved in writing and creating this including regular collaborators like Dan Konopka (OK Go), Jessica Magoch, and Chris Birkett (producer, Sinead O'Connor's Nothing Compares 2 U as written by Prince).

I cannot express enough appreciation for all the efforts that everyone put forth to help me realize this vision.

I have put together a physical book about the making of the album called THIS MAD DESIRE | PASSING LANES OF FATE -The Stories Behind The Songs which provides lyrics, stories, photos, artwork, and bios of all the participants. Click HERE to learn how to get your paws on this instant classic, soon to be the jewel of your bookcase. It also comes with the option to get a FREE digital download of the album.

THIS MAD DESIRE | Passing Lanes of Fate hits streaming services on April 24, 2026 but you can get it NOW! 

Also… here is a fun interview I did recently talking about my experiences working in both Music and Movies.
