Ian Wellman set out to document an extreme wind event early last year. He wound up capturing the onset of the terribly destructive Southern California wildfires. The presence of slight musical additions does not distract from the sheer destructive force on display, this is not for casual engagement.

Is anyone else’s spotify page all messed up? All my releases are listed as “featured on?” I guess it’s move away from spotify…

particularly dangerous situation is out now via @elevatorbath.com. the album is a meditative document of the 2025 Southern California wildfires. Massive thank you Colin for really putting in the care to make this edition sound and look the best it can!

FFFoxy Podcast #272 is now available. New music from Massage, Nice Breeze, Ian Wellman, Jandek, Yamila, Mark Harwood, Fantasma, Èlg & La Chimie, and more. www.freeformfreakout.com/fffoxy-podca...

Big thank you to SoundOhm for the extremely kind review and selecting the album as part of their “best of 2026” section. They gave lovely compliments to @elevatorbath.com, too!!

Thank you to all the folks who showed up for the listening party this afternoon!

This is completely fucking unacceptable. Shut this terrorist government down until it stops brutalizing its own citizens.

Really looking forward to this and having my smoke and ash loops be part of the evening
