My heart

2025 was another busy year for Orindal Records! The label released seven new albums across three physical formats, a vinyl reissue & a digital single. Plus, we already have a ton of great releases planned for 2026, our 15th year as an independent record label! Thank you for your support!

Happy New Year! Advance Base Christmas Special 2025 is still free to watch through January 5, 2026. youtu.be/tMta7JY6Pxs?...

Surprise! I released a new EP last night at midnight. Pay whatever you want - I’m donating the money to IYG, a support resource for LGBTQ+ young people in Indiana. mikeadamsathishonestweight.bandcamp.com/album/dizzy-...

"No Off" is the new video from Robert Stillman's forthcoming album 10,000 Rivers (out January 9, 2026). 10,000 Rivers is a speculative suite of jazz, ambient & smooth pop-inspired compositions that challenge the myths of Silicon Valley's early '90s techno-utopianism. youtu.be/88R9VlApTZ0?...

Ok I updated the alphabetically presented LYRICS page on the Advance Base website to include direct links to where you can stream (or even purchase) each song as you read along. I think this is good!!! www.advancebasemusic.com/lyrics.htm

Watching the thrilling finale of the world series at a bar standing next to the joker & a ghostbuster was an absolute highlight of my year. Fall rules.

Thank you Chris DeVille & Stereogum for doing music journalism on my two new songs

owen's music has been a constant presence in my life for nearly 25 years, a consistent comfort and inspiration. I hope that you are fortunate enough to have artists' work in your life that you've grown with and that grows you.

Big thanks to Annie Parnell for writing about my new songs before anyone else in the world, & in the same beautiful essay with Donnie Darko, Wednesday & house fires (topics all extremely relevant to me personally).

In anticipation of Advance Base's upcoming Eastern & Midwestern US tours, I've decided to share a couple of long-lingering but newly-completed Advance Base songs: "Movie Theater Manager" & "Blue Christmas 2." The songs are available exclusively from Bandcamp. advancebase.bandcamp.com/album/movie-...

New music tomorrow

Looking for something to listen to? Here's our version of Casiotone for the Painfully Alone's "Tonight Was a Disaster". Recorded in our rehearsal space during the COVID lockup. Give Owen Ashworth a follow, yeah? @advancebase.bsky.social societyofrockets.bandcamp.com/track/tonigh... #musicsky

In the horror story version of my life, there would be a day when I go to my local post office to check my p.o. box & I stick my hand in a little too far & I get sucked through to the other side & then I become the man in the photo above my p.o. box, Stanley-Kubrick's-The-Shining-style.

It's been a big week for crying to music & me

I missed the anniversary but nevertheless! Aaron Seward's hand-painted music video for "The Year I Lived in Richmond" by Advance Base has been out in the world for a whole, big, terrible year. Thank you Aaron for making beautiful magic. Watch it here: youtu.be/-LXwshEQjtg?...
