Shut In.
Like everyone else, I’ve spent the last several weeks hunkered down in my house, refining my relationship to boredom and probably eating too much.

Duels
My new EP, "Duels", is now out in its entirety and available everywhere. Here are some words on the trepidation that comes with releasing new work.
Here’s my new EP, Duels/Volume 1, and additional words about how I made it
The first half of my new EP "Duels" is out right now. Like today. Have a listen to this folk n' roll and read about the agony I inflicted on myself to make it. There are lyrics in here, too, sexy pants.

I Put Out a New Louiston LP Today. It’s Called ‘Reconciler’, and You Should Hear It.
I'm putting out some new music today. A 10-song record, actually. It's called Reconciler, and it's pretty damn good. Like every other Louiston record, you can grab it here or stream the whole thing on my website or soundcloud. Many, many sweaty hours were put into recording this thing at my house. The LP spans [...]
Louiston – “Cat Person”, a track off this new record that consumed my life
After a long time at work on a new Louiston record, it is out of my hands, down the street getting mastered at Wilburland Studios. Done. Finished. It's called, Reconciler. It's 10 songs, and it's pretty damn cool, if I may. This is the first track I've received back, a quiet, snarky little ditty called [...]
