Walker McDonald – “Inside & Out”
SO VERY EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE THE ARRIVAL OF ‘Inside & Out’….
the debut release from the immensely talented @walker_mcd.
A collection of ten songs that showcase Walker’s musical depth and truly unshakable, authentic sweetness. Recorded in an expedited fashion with the legendary @marshallbrownmusic behind the board. Walker has a penchant for unexpected chord arrangements and pairs this beautifully with his touching lyrical themes and amazing sense of melody.
This record is a brief goodbye of sorts as Walker plans to spend the next couple of years working overseas for the @peacecorps ✌🏽
WELCOME TO THE COMFORT MONK FAMILY, WALKER! We’ve always kept a seat open at the table for ya. ❤️

Dear Blanca – “Thank You So Much, We’re Dear Blanca: Live”
100% of pre-order sales will go directly to New Brookland Tavern in an effort to support them through the pandemic. PRE-ORDER HERE.
On December 7th, 2019 Dear Blanca set out to record what would be Marc’s last show with the band before moving to Colorado. Sometime after this it was discovered that the hard drives were fried and the project was lost. Mysteriously, these recordings of the show were later found on a computer at New Brookland Tavern and no one knows how these ghost recordings even exist. Thanks to Carlin Thompson at NBT for unearthing the stems that were labored over by Jay Matheson at Jam Room Recording Studio.
All tracks recorded at New Brookland Tavern on December 7th, 2019 except “Temporary Solution” & “Boulders” – recorded at Township Auditorium on August 27th, 2020.

Dear Blanca – “Overpass” Single Release
We here at CM are proud to announce the release of a new single from the upcoming Dear Blanca full length, entitled “Perched”! It’s got the electric jolts, energetic jams, and extensive jaunt that you’ve come to expect from this Big Star-influenced powerhouse.
LISTEN TO “OVERPASS” AND PREORDER THE RECORD HERE!
New Track: Stagbriar feat. Cayla Fralick – “The Flu”
We at Comfort Monk are beside ourselves with excitement to announce the new Stagbriar single “The Flu,” released today in advance of their August 21st offering of long-awaited sophomore LP “Suppose You Grow.”
“The Flu” is built upon rumbling cello and soft percussion, establishing a frame to support the tight harmonies, sung like a pizzicato string section. Its atmosphere and lyrics are a pensive reflection on one’s defense mechanisms.
Hear the new track and pre-order the record here! Available on vinyl, CD, and digital formats on 8/21/2020 via Comfort Monk/Stagbriar.
