my new emo chiptune album A PLACE TO KEEP YOU is out now!! <3 I'm taking my intricate, glitchy arrangements to new horizons! this is my first release with vocals - practicing songwriting has been hugely rewarding. this record blends live instrumentation with authentic chiptune (Gameboy, NES, SNES)!

the cover art for "A Place to Keep You" by Hunter Van Brocklin. it shows a small house with its porch light on, largely obscured by trees and shrubs except for the stairs leading up to it. a large apartment building can be seen behind it with several of its windows lit up. the artist and title text appear to the right in white with a big quotation mark next to them.

fresh new wall courtesy of the many artists at our comic con last weekend!

a slightly different angle than the previous photo, primarily showcasing the wall of art prints a bit closer

📷 photography 📸 the cover art photos for A PLACE TO KEEP YOU were taken in Seattle by the masterful @victoriascott.bsky.social, who was an absolute treat to work with and brought a gorgeous new dimension to this album! and yes... that's a front cover and a back cover... what could that mean...!?⁉️

the same photo from the cover art in the previous post - it shows a small house with its porch light on, largely obscured by trees and shrubs except for the stairs leading up to it. a large apartment building can be seen behind it with several of its windows lit up. this image is just the photo though, so there's no artist and title text.

the back cover photo - a mysterious little outpost building is shown in the middle of a parking lot with super tall buildings behind it and two antennae sticking out the top. the building is octagonal and largely painted black and orange, as are the antennae.

Björk - Biophilia (2011) incredibly artful pop record; songs that build whole entire worlds each. Björk's sound design and atmosphere are completely unmatched, and her writing is intensely evocative, ethereal, otherworldly while also remaining visceral and arresting. unreal amount of artistry!

HVB☆damifortune | new album out!!🪻 @samplemance.rs · 04/01/2026

Sunny Kim & Ben Monder - The Dream of the Earth (2016) stunningly beautiful "jazz as art song" vocalist + jazz guitarist collab. contemplative ambient meditations punctuated by intimate ballads. a haunting spiritual salve for an ailing planet, a theme that really resonates with me (and my music).

HVB☆damifortune | new album out!!🪻 @samplemance.rs · 04/01/2026

This Is Lorelei - Box for Buddy, Box for Star (2024) it's been years since an indie folk rock album got me this excited! I could not put this one down. direct and catchy songwriting, very well developed lyrics, excellent pacing, just enough experimentation. a cult favorite's deserved breakout hit.

HVB☆damifortune | new album out!!🪻 @samplemance.rs · 04/01/2026

Hank Heaven - Loaded Dice (2024) jazz guitarist turned indie singer-songwriter... such a cool pipeline! this album became my most-listened of 2025 in Dec alone - the songs are absolute earworms! loosely gambling themed, varied in style and tone, it ultimately feels like a very intimate gaze inward.

HVB☆damifortune | new album out!!🪻 @samplemance.rs · 04/01/2026

sueter7 - diario (2025) an endearing, catchy, emotional EP of Argentine glitchy indietronica. everything about this album gels so well and hits so hard! the arrangements are a mix of emo-poppy guitars, synths, electronic drum sequencing, and crunchy bitcrushed vocals. sounds like your best friend.

I sold my horns when I moved last year cause I hadn't played in many years, but I wound up wanting to get back into it in earnest, and now I have this used vintage yamaha horn from the early 70s. I'm rusty as hell but already having so much fun, it's great to play again for the simple joy of playing

reading Mood Machine, a recent book of music journalism about Spotify, and it definitely cuts deep so far this gives me the grim impression that unless you make music that's comfortable for background/passive "listening", it's not worth having your stuff up on their service. your goals do not align

I like to assemble a big pile of records that are new to me, then roll dice to determine the order of albums. I've been doing road trips this way for years, I love it.

I rented a cute old house w/ some others for a surprisingly good price in my last 2 years at USC, and this is what that plot of land looks like now. I noticed they tore the whole damn block down when I drove by in 2020, but this is somehow even worse than I expected

I recently found an iPod at a garage sale for $10 and hadn't realized just how much I missed having & curating a dedicated music player! in hindsight, the iPod era was a much rosier one for music appreciation than where we've ended up. they made a personal, physical thing just for digital media!
