I have not been depressed for three weeks straight and I previously had been depressed for most of my adult life (I am 32). I think it could be a combo of a few things that did it for me. I did transcranial magnetic stimulation, I started the medication “Auvelity” and I have two wonderful partners.

i knew there was a reason I wore my Alanis shirt yesterday

Soda Jinx (the band I write songs for and sing in and play trombone and play synth) played a really great show last night with Speckle, Drinking Bleach and Cautious Driver. It was Speckle’s album release show and they were so goooood! My two partners also met for the first time and it was so cool 🥹

yayyyy new Foot Ox album “The Lighthouse With Silver Dog Eyes” came out today!!! I didn’t play on this one but I love these songs dearly and get to play them for our live shows 🥳 tidal.com/browse/album...

I am getting my shit together 😎

What do y’all think of the recent Foot Ox singles?

I got that new relationship energy 🥳

I just think it’s time to get it together

Pacific Northwest!! I'm psyched to be playing my first ever solo shows up your way later this month! Let's rock! 🎸💚 Ticket links here: linktr.ee/mikehuguenor

I am in San Anselmo CA for my friends’ wedding. I am so happy for them both. They are really good folks and they have good folks surrounding them. I am secretly really fucking tired bc I got to my hotel at 5 AM. Please don’t tell anyone I miss my cat and wish I brought a guitar. I’ve been writing…

bad opinion

while ponderous planets of unwaning woe revolve round me, deep down and deep inland there I still bathe me in eternal mildness of joy

mixing pro tip: make the music sound good not bad

Reposting this because I know at least a bunch of you are in Portland, a LOT of you would really like wearing a bear suit, and I'm sure at least one of you in that venn diagram is a biologist, right?

You cannot hide the soul.

So many things I would use isotope rx for if I could afford it

I think this album is very good and I have listened to it twice tonight.

my periodic reminder that your artistic work — your writing, music, dance, whatever it is — is crucially important for you and for the people who receive it, in ways you might never personally experience or grasp. you gotta trust me, please keep going

Seriously if you know someone who books bands please tell them Perennial is good; my life is just emails at this point

fuck

put on a youtube backing track and then played whole tone scales all over it because I’m feeling insane.

what nameless, inscrutable, unearthly thing is it; what cozening, hidden lord and master, and cruel, remorseless emperor commands me

doin bad send memes

I’m gonna have a party and you’re all invited

America can, must, and will replace the national anthem with all 46 minutes and 33 seconds of "Promises" by Pharoah Sanders & Floating Points

I love Smog

Hear Woody Guthrie's previously unreleased original recording of his protest song "Deportee,' from the new compilation 'Woody At Home - Vol. 1 + 2'

I was very lucky to get to record and mix this track. Rhea’s virtuosic viola playing and unique use of a looper made her an instant staple in the Portland music scene. I find it hard to describe her sound so I won’t try. Give it a listen!

I have read so many songwriting and poetry books and now I can listen to The Beatles and recognize all the rules they break.

The next next Foot Ox record is sounding really good!!!

Aphex Twin: Is It Music?

Soda Jinx just released a song!

Almost done mixing the next Speckle record!

Mike’s solo music is underrated. The melodies are catchy, the tones are unique, the production is tasteful. I’m excited for the rest of the album to come out!

job shadowing Larry Crane for a mixing session today 😱

you can just burn a copy of a cd and print out the album art on a regular piece of paper and fold it into a sleeve and write the track list on the back and give it to a friend there’s nothing stopping you

Today I’m woodshedding Foot Ox bass parts because in early July we are flying down to LA to record an album. I never imagined I would get to do anything like this and it feels totally surreal even just prepping for it. I’m just a gal from a small town not no highfalutin big city woman.

Anyone wanna go with me?

sometimes I find crazy intricate EQ curves I have done with the stock protools 7 band EQ and then I bypass everything except the high pass filter and I like that way better.

maybe i will get an umbrella

I am so grateful that the JSRF soundtrack is on Tidal.

I try all things; I achieve what I can.

I worked so hard to use the SM57s off-axis rejection to get the hi hat out of the snare mic but I pointed it towards the ride cymbal 🥴

Shout out to Analog Obsession for their pay what you can model and great plug ins. Especially LALA and POORTEC. One day when I have money I will give them some!

i wish i had a clarinet

We head out for our West Coast tour this week! We love doing this more than anything in the world, but if you’d like to help us along the way here’s a thread of Perennial merch. You’d be amazed how impactful buying a band’s shirt or tape really is. Re-posts are very appreciated. Perennial Loves You.

I heard Bust Your Kneecaps by Pomplamoose this weekend so it’s going to be stuck in my head for 10 more years.

Listening to Kool & The Gang’s self titled and first album. It is so fun!
