Lithium and a Lollipop

Chris of Wilderness

Lithium and a Lollipop is my 8th album, recorded deep in the Sonoran Desert. This record is full of wonky, warped samples of a couple of my cheap guitars, a minichord, my voice, and various found instruments (like my metal water bottle). The overall sound is a kind of mutant bluesy electronic rock (light). The songs are autobiographical at their core, but aren't necessarily anchored to some "my reality." As a person who has dealt with mental illness most of my life, it is the liminal spaces between reality, fiction, and spirit that tend to fill my lyrics.
