Salt Bloom: Trailer

Friday, January 9, 2026 • Duration 15:23

Howdy howdy, it's Justin here. Salt Bloom is my new two-part, micro-fiction sci-fi story about a robotic probe searching for life on a lifeless ocean world. Undaunted by failure, this SARC-17 research unit navigates the waters while seeding myths, searching for salt-ridden omens, and stealing data from its overseer in orbit. This probe is both captain and ship on a sea with impregnable mysteries. Its soul extends far beyond circuits and programming—and it will never stop searching. Searching for life. Searching for miracles. Searching for some kind of hand to hold in an ocean where there are none.

Salt Bloom is available exclusively through Local Files Club, a digital label for audio fiction. It's a one-time purchase, just like a book or album, and it comes with a few bonus features handcrafted by your one true Chameleon-loving poet narrator.

This includes the full soundtrack, a 12-page illustrated artbook/field guide, and a bonus log.

Salt Bloom is available for pre-order now and will fully launch on February 6th.

Find it at: https://localfilesclub.bandcamp.com/album/salt-bloom

E04 The Bat in the Ermine Cape :: Side B

Season 1 · Episode 4

Tuesday, July 14, 2020 • Duration 21:08

Episode 04: The Bat in the Ermine Cape Side B

A paleolithic tapir. A bat. A ripping in your chest with a gaping spring day sinkhole (and a poor sheep lost to its depths). Cursed lover rabbit phobia. Storytime: summer camp - a horse - a waterfall - stealing one of god's miracles: constellations rain their lies upon the garden. A coffin. Extravehicular mobility suits in flames. All things eaten. Even the giraffe. Hallucinogenic saliva brain cannibalism - a fissure through the real.

Episode 03: The Bat in the Ermine Cape Side A

Intercosmic terror digestion that I won't waste time describing the gore of here. A note: carnivorous astronauts will come for you, eventually. A planetarium greenhouse where all constellations are lies - just like your night sky. Forbidden sin theatre stage that has eaten all the actors - left behind a botanical wonderland. A new explorer. Storytime: fire - Godzilla - a winged mammal that has come to curse your ex-lover.

The Mount Tahoma Magic Show Begins: Missiles and confetti poppers. Blood heaven baptism vomit. Can you see it? The Golden Wolf has tasted your blood. It is all my fault. And for that I am proud.
