Returning from eight months probation! A single eked out under duress, only because of the Halloween stress and storm – holiday season hit hard this year. But here, the second one. Not eked, totally formed. The most complete Pacific Blush effort yet. A gloomy, stormy, sweet, powerful, loving, trip to the heart of Blush. Featuring a tiny pocketful of guests, this album remains Matt's.

Definitely a darker album than the debut, yet also more expansive and at times a shade content. A stronger focus on electric guitar and organ helps with the shadier connotations while the vocals bring a warming glow. Self-assuring realizations scatter across the album, leaving a sense of hope.

Fashion Chrysalis is the follow-up to last summer's “acclaimed” Skeletal Gardens. It's official release is Valentine's Day, Sunday the 14th. It will be available on iTunes, amazon, eMusic, and lala. There is also going to be a handmade edition, which will be made available here post-haste. In the meantime feel free to ogle the tracklist below.
