Clubcast 025. Chase’s Long-Lost Novel (A Blind Reading – Part One)

This special episode is the first in a new series of episodes which will release sporadically on off-weeks between member interviews and stories behind new songs. In this episode, I share the story of how I happened upon a physical copy of something that I believed was lost to history: the young reader’s novel that I wrote while in high school, titled Through the Frame. I haven’t read anything from this novel in 10-15 years, so I’ll be blindly reading through the newfound copy of this long-lost novel across a handful of special episodes. Future episodes will jump straight into the “audiobook” of Through the Frame, but this episode includes an introduction, providing context for when I wrote the book, how I found my copy, and how little I remember about this novel. The episode ends with an untitled instrumental demo from 2023 which has never been released before.
