THE MIRE, THE MARSH: DECEMBER EDITION


Hey folks -

Here's the first monthly newsletter from The Marsh!

This one for December 2024.


MEGAFAUNA
There really isn't any major news here - other than a reminder that I Owe This Land a Body comes out on January 3rd, 2025! It's an album about how the least we can have the decency to do is die - and I'm enormously proud of it. There are three singles available currently, all on your preferred streaming service.

The next single "Un-make me, save me from the hell of living" comes out on December 14th, and - spoiler alert - it's a chiptune song. So get ready.

You can pre-order IOTLAB on cassette, cd, and digitally on Bandcamp or Ampwall.

Oh! Also, I checked out my Spotify wrapped for 2024, and just wanted to thank every single person who checked out MEGAFAUNA this year, I really can't overstate how grateful I am.

Last thing: I am hosting a special solstice screening of Nosferatu w/ my original score - the even is on discord, and it's free. Its an effort to bring people together on the longest night of the year. If you're interested, please request an invitation by e-mailing canadianmegafauna@gmail.com

GRUMM TRENCHER

I released a song recently called Beira, named after the goddess of winter - I think it's pretty good and I hope you'll check it out. Available on Bandcamp, Ampwall, and streaming.

SYRUP MOOSE RECORDS

SMR is going into hibernation mode in 2025, there will be no new releases as I start to clear the SMR order backlog and work hard to start 2026 fresh and new. I don't know what SMR will look like then, but we can cross that bridge when we come to it. In the meantime, there are still releases coming out this year, and they're all real fucking good. Click the album art to go check 'em out.

Last thing - on New Years Even, I'll be hosting the 2nd annual sticky awards, and a live show called REQUIEM. I hope you'll join us on Bandcamp. It's only $5. ALSO - if you'd like to vote in the Stickies, you can do so right here.

THE MIRE, THE MARSH What's up cool kids? Today I turn 36. I'm marking the occasion with the live and free premiere of Nosferatu (1922) with my To the Land of Ghosts score attached. It premieres on Youtube in 40 minutes (11am PST) - and I'll be in the chat if you want to say hello. You can also, if you'd like, check out all my links. Maybe share them with your friends and family and colleagues and high-level executives with very deep pockets? Or just for yourself. Here's everything I've put...

THE MIRE, THE MARSH SYRUP MOOSE RECORDS UPDATE: Alright folks - here is the deal. At the end of THIS WEEK (MARCH 16TH, 2025) I will be putting ALL PRE-ORDERED TAPES into production. They will all share a colour, and will be produced in a couple of lengths. My hope is that tapes will be ready by the summer of this year. Giving myself time and space to be early. ALL cassettes will be locked after that date. There will be NO further pre-orders. If there's something up there that you want, this...
