Today, on June 20th, 2025, Tyler Bradley Walker, one half of the experimental Rock-Electronic group Gone to Color is releasing his debut solo album, The Sun The Moon The Earth and Me.

Co-Produced by Indie Rock artist Brian Deck (Modest Mouse, Counting Crows, Iron & Wine), the album was composed by Walker using a hardware MIDI sequencer, a dozen analog synths developed through DSP, and acoustic instruments and vocals. The video and single for “Because of the Many” is out now.

The track “Because of the Many” opens the album and features longtime collaborator Brian Deck while conveying a sense of protest. The track is paired with a surreal video featuring hand-made puppets that “reflects on the unraveling of personal and political freedom.”

Walker says:

What do Bertrand Russell, minimalism, indie-rock producer Brian Deck, and myself have in common? The track ‘Because of the Many,’ which is a moral injunction. It’s not so important that the listener knows how I thought about the lyrics, but the loss of liberty in the US along with our abhorrent healthcare system were on my mind when the lyrics were conceived.
