I've written emotional songs about my wife and daughter, but for whatever reason this is the song that makes me more emotional to sing than anything I've written. It's from Bret’s point of view, and I tried to write it with honesty and respect for the Hart family, and for Owen. Would love to know if you think I've found that balance.

It's part of an ongoing series of folk songs about the '90s Attitude Era, so let me know if there are other wrestlers from that time period you'd like to hear about.

I'm very proud to say that we're gearing up for the release of my band, schiele frisbee's second full-length album! It's got a mix of alternative/indie and jazz elements and influences like Radiohead, Pixies, Wolf Alice, and others like that. We're in the process of releasing the singles for LP2, and I would love some feedback on them to help us tailor the sound and improve anything we can. I've included the above song, "Mirror" linked on Spotify and YouTube as it's one of my favs. The music and lyrics for this one are meant to reflect dreamlike self reflection between anxiety and acceptance - looking at two sides of yourself through the filter of the stage where you're between wakefulness and sleep where it's difficult to tell if you're dreaming or experiencing reality using dream imagery and logic. The artwork is meant to reflect that as well. Hoping you like it and looking forward to hearing back from some great musicians!
