about

In the summer of 2020 after 15 years of touring Darrin Bradbury had a full psychiatric break and was committed to a mental health treatment facility for 3 months in Wisconsin. Sans shoelaces or phone he had brought a tape recorder and some art supplies with him hell bent on at least documenting what he was going through. This collection of songs are what he wrote while clinically insane. When asked Darrin says “What I love about this collection is I don’t remember writing half of em”. The songs are uncharacteristically directly personal and more melodic than previous work and probably were never intended for consumption.

We are proud to present to you this collection as a testament to how important access to adequate mental health treatment is and the steps The Beat takes to break the stigma associated with the struggle to maintain proper mental health.
