Had an absolute blast chatting with @skatunenetwork.bsky.social over on @swimintosound.bsky.social about their latest record, the touring they've been doing, and all sorts of music and deep life stuff.

Really proud of how this piece turned out! πŸ–€πŸ€β€οΈ

If you’ve been listening to Death of the Heart, nothing but gratitude for y’all 🫢🏾✨ a lot went into making this record. Much love to y’all πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€

I’m not the first person to record full band or record to tape in modern day. Many other bands & engineers have been doing this. But this was something special none of my music leading up tot his point had done! I have never had this much fun recording, and I hope y’all can feel that energy!

The JER band has been touring for years, and the energy of the live band became infectious. I knew I wanted to capture that energy and authenticity onto this record. Every band / record I love is a great band going in the studio, hitting record, and playing a damn good song.

But in a world where AI slop is rising, where social media makes people present an inauthentic idea of β€œperfection”, and everything begins and ends with hollow aesthetics, I truly wanted to lean into the humanity of music.

Despite having recorded over 500 songs between covers on skatune network, or recording with various other bands, I never tracked a record simultaneously with other musicians. It’s always been play your part to a track, and keep getting takes until it’s β€œperfect”

ONE YEAR AGO TODAY! We were in the studio recording DEATH OF THE HEART

This record was recorded in 6 days.
First 2 days we tracked the rhythm section together. Day 3 was mainly doubling guitars, layering keys. Days 4 - 6 were mainly recording horns, percussion, vocals, and miscellaneous extras

I’m not into Purity Politics either lol nobody can be perfect but we also all should be conscious of whatever we consume and put our money toward. There’s a big line that separates humans genuinely fucking up and someone supporting a fascist regime lol like, being aware isn’t purity politics

Punk in the park is just capitalist who wanted to use their capital to make money off punk. They don’t give a shit about the community or marginalized people punk is supposed to stand for. It was obvious that they chose to platform anti-vaxxers for money lol like cmon.

28.02.2026 03:45 β€” πŸ‘ 74    πŸ” 9    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

reality is if punk in the park made a statement saying β€œwe deeply apologize for the impact, and going forward would donate proceeds made from punk in the park to immigrant coalitions” they probably could’ve saved the brand of the festival, but that means they wouldn’t make money so they didn’t do it

This is the importance of speaking out. Many bands happily played punk in the park knowing they donated to trump. When we collectively voice how fucked it is to support it, it breaks the social contract of β€œit’s okay to play fests when they support fascism”

28.02.2026 03:45 β€” πŸ‘ 40    πŸ” 3    πŸ’¬ 2    πŸ“Œ 0

It’s because of pressure. People have known for years that punk in the park donated to trump, but the image of ICE violently ripping families apart wasnt in most of these punk fans heads. Now that it looks bad, bands wanna drop but make no mistake, they’re dropping cause it looks bad to support it

Maybe I missed a band or two, but also wanna specify that often times, people love to point out a guitarist but it’s important to know there’s so many black people who front their own projects, and there could be room for them if they cared but more anti-vaxxers were platforms than niggas lol

Rest in piss Punk in the park. A black person never got to play any of their events. Almost like they were racist ass bootlickers from the jump
