The first single released from Dean's new body of work, "Would You Like to Come In?" deals with a drug-induced vision, a nightmare and falling in love.
Support Dean's Music
Recorded between Dean's old apartment in LA, Trent Berry's studio in San Francisco and Dean's mother's house in Florida. Written in about twenty minutes the evening before a small coffee shop gig in Ormond Beach, in a fit of nerves and compulsion.
Acoustics and bass recorded in a small bedroom in Los Angeles, drums in San Francisco (Hyde Street Studios) and electrics and vocals recorded in another bedroom in Florida
Written in late 2018, this track marked a turn in many ways for Dean. A long, psychedelic poem-song, "The Favor" captured a sense of gratitude for existence that Dean hadn't felt since childhood. It also helped signal the change to an older, folkier, vintage-styled approach that would characterize his writing output for the next long while.
Written on a borrowed guitar the week his grandmother died. Dean has dedicated this song to his Grandmother and his mother.

We stood outside for a while, chatting about life and music and he gave me the Cliff's Notes of his very wild life's story. Short version, he was a survivor of a suicide attempt by firearm and was

We stood outside for a while, chatting about life and music and he gave me the Cliff's Notes of his very wild life's story. Short version, he was a survivor of a suicide attempt by firearm and was partially paralyzed.
I asked if I could write a song about him, and he said yes.
This is the song that came out.

Written between the winter of 2016 in Cleveland, Ohio and the fall of 2018 in Daytona Beach, Florida, this album draws on themes of suicidal ideation, insecurity, depression, depersonalization and hitting bottom while also attempting to describe some of the ways to escape these traps.
