IN THE LIFE OF BRENDAN PAXTON



I've finished around 1/5th of my first chapter, Mankind. A few of you may know that I'm taking my short, exploratory essay: [link] and putting it into music. I will be having three albums, MANKIND, INK, and PORCELAIN produced throughout my lifetime. I feel that these works may be the only thing worth doing in my life (creatively) if all else fails, meaning including family/spiritual life. If any of you have read the essay, you may guess that "Mankind" will be referring to the journey throughout the beginning stages of life--really shaping the face of the inevitable, future growth of mankind. And so, this album, MANKIND is still a work in progress. I probably won't finish it until I'm around 30 years old. For now, I mean, this year, I've released the first 1/5th of MANKIND as a small EP. The two songs represent a few separate moments in my life while I was growing up. It's sort of hard to write two songs and say, "These signify the time when I grew up." I think I will continue growing up, so to say, until I'm 30, until I have a family. Then I will take a different role, which will be continued in INK.

So, go check it out for free:

And please, tell me what you think, either here or on LAST.FM, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks!
