How do I keep on feeling in this mean, mean world?
Out Today!
Shara Nova's TITRATION
our 30th album
The irony is not lost on us.
We’ve reached an epic number with our 30th album.

Yet the album is anti-epic:
a journey of great intimacy, personality, honesty, and joyful hope.
All inspired by Shara asking questions: 

How do we make a society where all bodies
can experience the same promise of safety?  
How can I become a safer person for other people? 
How do I work through difficult emotions like fear, grief, disgust or rage? 
How can I grow in my capacity to feel more?

...and answering them in a prismatic array of styles, colors,
at times mesmerizing, and at times electrifying, music. 
 
We love this piece.
We love this album.
We love Shara.
 
We celebrate our 30th album.
 
Do you know when we hold hands our pulses find one another?
NOW STREAMING
on Spotify and Apple Music
 
In the wake of your passing, I ache.
I know you in the blowing grass
I know the cloud in my teacup
I check under my boot soles
Are you there?
