birthrite: lancing the boil (2025)
A purge & rebirth ritual.
A scathing retrospective of a life turned septic.
A cautionary tale of overgrown weeds & dreams turned stale.
Those stuck in the wasteland may find some kinship here.
self-titled debut (2022)
Visceral & grand, head in hands & tongue in cheek, this is the heavy folk sound of the Dirty Beat. Layers of reeds, strings & winds; plump-slump bottom end & hip-shake bass; low-tuned armies of drums & guitars; all revel & ravel in a stew of no era. Voices, in ones and twos & choirs, rejoice in reckless abandon, raising together in harmonious hymns to the All.
