"Harmonizing surprising vocal stylings with a dynamic assortment of instrumental tactics, Froseph takes both an aggressive and soft spoken approach with the songs on “Deep Breath.” It's both slow and fast-paced, smooth and rough, coping with deep-rooted insecurities and confronting a long-avoided past of sexual abuse, denial and their affects on everyday interactions while simultaneously constructing a sense of optimism and buoyancy. Recorded over several months in his basement bedroom with a laptop and a microphone and packaged with a plastic-free case that was hand-letterpressed in our garage."

I've written a zine called Twinkle Pig since 2003. The 6th issue (number 5) is now available! It's the smallest, cutest, classiest Twinkle Pig yet. At a steady 16 mini pages, it's blockprinted cover includes a handmade one inch button along with a love story.
The 5th issue (number 4) was released in May of 2006. Twinkle Pig number 4 is an audio zine with Froseph's 2nd full length album included in the inside back cover. It is a concept album about the physical, emotional, and spiritual evolution out of civilization.
If you're interested in getting a copy of Deep Breath ($8), Twinkle Pig number 5 ($2), and/or Twinkle Pig number 4 ($5-10 sliding scale) send me a message. Twinkle Pig number 3 was also an audio zine with a Froseph CD, but they're almost all gone for now. There's also a Twinkle Pig number 3.5: Bikes not Cabs ($1) written as a reaction to the CrimethInc. pamphlet titled "Wasted Indeed: Anarchy and Alcohol".
