The premiere album by Dark Pale now titled "First Light" is finally here and will be released on Friday March 6, 2026. This date is special for a couple reasons. It's the day the music leaves home and is also my youngest son's 11th birthday which is about the same amount of time this project has been in the works. You'll be able to stream and purchase individual tracks or the entire album from Dark Pale on BandCamp site. Looking forward to moving on with all that follows and engaging with those who connect with the music.

"Hello!" Testing the waters before the release of the premiere album. A perfect time to preview what's on the way.

Most of the music is on the darker side. Songs that start off on a lighter note usually end up somewhere in between. The words Dark Pale made sense and terminated frustrating name brainstorming that was revisited over the years.

I've always found that compared to writing music, lyrics are the greater challenge. I think love songs are an easy way out. Boy meets girl... girl leaves boy... boy murders girl... Ahh, there's that "Dark" side popping up again. Maybe it has something to do with being a night person. I've been up all night as far back as I can remember. The world is yours while everyone around sleeps. You can focus on what you're doing without distractions or interruptions. It's a peaceful and better part of a day in many ways.

I'm lucky enough to be surrounded by family and love at home and able to enjoy giving it back. I never had an interest in writing love songs. Don't get me wrong. I don't hate on it but do believe it's best left to people like Lennon who summed the entire love song subject up in a song called "Love." (Listen Here) If that was the only song ever written about it, we may have never needed another.
