Dear friends,

Since 2009 I have had the joy of making music under the name Dead Gaze. From the very first note to the last, my goal was to create pop music with purpose and beauty. The happiness I felt from showing y'all what's inside my head has been nothing short of gigantic. Not a day passes that my heart ignores these feelings of happiness and gratitude. The past 2 years of my life have been marked in dishonesty, isolation, addiction, and pain. I've pushed love away, lost focus on what is real, and damaged my soul in the process. The music was a tangible representation of my mirrored universe. With that being said, I'm letting go of Dead Gaze. The time is now for me to move forward and look back on the project with love. I personally want to thank the following people for their help in walking with me through the art. Without these people the music would've never happened.

For all the people who came to our shows, bought our records, booked our shows, wore DG t-shirts, gave us comfort, food, a floor to sleep on, hospitality and love, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. The music was made for you. For these blessings and more my heart is full. Thank you.

With Clarity and Love,
Cole
