This companion 108 page full-color ebook is a libretto, a roadmap to follow in sequence while listening to the album, or you can turn to any page, regarding each facet you encounter as a koan that can hopefully illuminate the more esoteric aspects of this work. This debut collection of poems and essays asks, Can we transmute a world’s weight of unforgivable acts, an Alphabet of Wrongdoing? Both the album and the book investigate communal gestures of forgiveness - attempts to "Restore dignity to existence through music…" (poet Alan Felsenthal)

Designers Brankica Harvey and Ken Deegan took an artful dive into the realm of typography to reveal the alphabet to us anew. The book also features stills from a video for All Our Departed, directed by Johnny Spence, filmed by Caitlin Woelfle-O’Brien, choreographed by Erin Poole, and performed by Erin Poole, Eric Cheng, and Daniela Gesundheit.

*You may also apply this purchase as a credit towards the double LP box set and hardcover book which will be out in 2021.

10% of proceeds will go to The Loveland Foundation. No one turned away for lack of funds. Send an email to hello@alphabetofwrongdoing.com for more information.

Excerpt from Alphabet of Wrongdoing Digital Libretto:

We have un-vowed, we have pounded our hearts open, we have prostrated ourselves on forest floors, pine needles pressing into our bellies, and we have fissured our hardened shells all to see if there is some shining, iridescent yolk of incorruptibility inside of us. From that place, where the shards of who we once were somehow fertilize the soil around us, a date palm begins to grow in rapid time-lapse. The summation of brokenness feeds the date palm, moves up its proud, upright trunk as sap, moves into its branches, first as blossoms and then as sweet endless fruit. Just glimpsing the palm sway we feel more whole, more alive: “fresh and full of sap.” This perpetual transmutation is justice.
