A Pregnant Light - Capacity For Living (cassette)

From January through December of 2022 A Pregnant Light would release 10 new songs, in two-song single format.  Starting naturally on 1/08 with “Beast About” and ending in December with “Threshold Angel.”  As I look back at those first few songs, I am intensely proud, but I cannot for the life of me recognize that person.  2022 was a year that started off like any other, and then somehow as the year went on I began to change.  Life got strange.  Strange isn’t bad, it’s just strange.  The plan was to just write and record.  That’s always the plan.  Just keep working.  It is just a document of where I was every couple of months in my life, emotions, body, and work.  These songs are a sort of self-fulfilling prophecy if you read through them.  It was an enjoyable project to just keep writing and releasing singles, though now I am now shifting my focus to more durational bodies of work.  I’m not sure where I fit in this world, and I don’t try to be anywhere or anything.  I just do what I do and I am so grateful to anyone who listens.  

All ten songs from last year have been remastered and collected here for you, with the addition of two bonus tracks, “In Gaul” and “Don’t Mention It.”  Maybe you’ve heard some of these last year, maybe you missed a few.  They’re all here for you now, with a fresh coat of paint.  

Additionally, a music video was shot for “Eating Emeralds,” directed by Thomas D. Rotenberg (metallicimagery.com).  Thank you to Tom for his vision and execution and allowing me to fulfill my lifelong dream of being a cult leader. 

My capacity for living has changed when I least expected it.  See you soon.
