Hey, we’ve landed back in NYC for our annual Christmas tree hustle and things really started with a bang! The back axle of our borrowed van snapped on the highway and both wheels flew off! (We’re fine. The van… less fine.) It’s getting patched up and should be ready just in time for us to live out of it for tree season.
Meanwhile, you may have heard that an AI-generated song hit No. 1 this week. Wild times. If you’re craving the antidote (something handmade, human, and a little scrappy) lucky for you… we just made a brand new music video!

This traversal style video is a window into tour life over the last few months : Alicia and I walking left-to-right through dozens of places we passed on the road, grabbing quick shots with our vintage camcorder, whenever we saw something interesting.
The effect is this hypnotic forward motion that never stops, (like a real life version of our cranky puppet video) stitched together from real moments, real people, real places, even capturing some real goodbyes along the way.
We hid a bunch of easter eggs in the video, too; inside jokes, familiar faces, cameos from tour, and sneak peeks of what’s coming next from the new album.
Seriously - go watch it and drop a comment on the video, like and subscribe! We appreciate ya!

Thanks for sticking with us through the playful moments, the chaos, and the magic that we find along the way.
We’re grateful you’re here.
Much love,
Alicia & Robert
P.S. As a mailing-list exclusive: here’s a little behind-the-scenes clip of us trying to get one of the walking shots. (We were absolutely freezing but it’s all in the name of art!) https://youtube.com/shorts/vYuUBBhGxYQ?si=hAExyrrlqvrC5z1f
