This song cycle was a celebration of all of the great artists whose shoulders we all stand on. Joseph Campbell, Terrence McKenna, and Fritjof Capra were just a few of the lyrical inspirations. Stevie Wonder, Bob Marley, and John Lennon are owed a tip of the hat on the musical

New Myths is 10 songs dealing with the ultimate trajectory of mankind. The mission was to deal with heady topics, wrapped up in beats and choruses that a three year old child would respond to. Subversive intent, coercive bent, under one tent…

From the slinky soulful opener, “Little World”, to the hip-hop, Zappaesque “Passing The Hat”, to the Dr. Dre on meth tell off “One Finger Salute”, you realize you are in for one unpredictable

“Hive Mind” is a caustic, caribbean infused call to arms for all citizens of this blue dot. “The Next Step” wonders aloud if we as a species will reach our evolutionary destiny, with an insistent dance beat and mega-chorus!

“Vehicles” is moody ballad that deals with the idea that our skin is only a temporary container. Bringing it back up with “Plastic Eyes”, we ponder the effects of unchecked exploitation of the Earths’ resources on our collective psyche.

In closing, “All” is a hypnotic plea to THEE DIVINE, whatever name one uses , as always, is up to you.
