Please be sure to buy or stream Jason’s new dark ambient album out now on Wayfarer Records.
Jason released a new video for his song, “The Criterion of Guilt” off of his album, “Fictional Mirrors.” While grounded in ambient textures, there is a strong progressive rock vibe throughout. The song deals with how we perceive guilt as a motivation and continues the examination of the superego.
Rock It Magazine gave “The Ironic Divide” a 9 out of 10 and called it “Fascinating, instrumental tracks that impress with a miraculous coexistences of massive riffs and playful sounds. Gittare & Bass magazine (Germany) called it”…one of the strongest instrumental albums of the year so far.”

Check out Jason's video from his "Fictional Mirrors" release. Jason said of the track, "I wanted the lead track to make a statement for where the rest of the music would be headed. Although, percussion is absent and thus making it harder to notice, the Warr guitar line switches between two odd time signatures. I liked this idea of incorporating the progressive side of my playing into an ambient setting. This song deals with how we perceive our mistakes and negative self and try to see the positive side."
Give the band a listen on the Apple Music Fresh Blood playlist.
