Secret Gardens2025

LP · 2025-02-11 · 17 tracks

Released February 11, 2025 on American Record (Albany, NY) — seventeen tracks, the widest single canvas on the modern roster. The coordinates pile up ('Point X,' 'Real Line,' 'Spin Network,' 'Leaf Switches') and then the record shows its hand: 'My Heart is a Drum' is the project's thesis in four words, and 'Alive Again' closes the winter's four-record release sprint on an exhale. 'Digital Oceans' and 'Hideaway' from this set carried Estate Lord onto the ARC & CO 2025 Sampler.

The Record

Estate Lord works the electronic edge of the American Record roster — the project where the label's network brain gets the whole console. The vocabulary is coordinates and current: 'Point X,' 'Real Line,' 'Spin Network,' 'Digital Oceans,' 'Abscissa, Ordinate and Applicate' — song titles that read like a physics syllabus and play like neon. Built at Studio IO666 with the full cross-country engine (Vitali, Andrew K in New Orleans, Greg O in Los Angeles, David Tyo on drums and engineering) and disclosed as hybrid, because this is the wing of the catalog where the advanced tools are the instrument. The release run was a sprint: 'The Forever Now' on December 10, 2024, 'Rules and Identity' twelve days later on December 22, 'Discipline' on New Year's Eve, and the seventeen-track 'Secret Gardens' six weeks after that — four records and forty-three tracks in sixty-three days. For all the geometry, the project keeps landing on the human pulse: the catalog's thesis statement is a track called 'My Heart is a Drum,' and 'Secret Gardens' closes on 'Alive Again.' Synth-lit, machine-built, and beating.

Estate Lord2024

LP · 2024-11-28 · 8 tracks

Released November 28, 2024 on American Record Company — the project's first transmission, twelve days before 'The Forever Now' opened the winter sprint. Eight tracks of sugary synth-pop bookended by 'Digital Love' and 'Waves of Time', with the two 'Disappearing Act' numbers (XXIII and XXIV) hinting at a series older than the catalog. Masters recovered to the PENNY vault July 2026.

The Forever Now2024

LP · American Record Company · 2024-12-10 · 9 tracks

Released December 10, 2024 on American Record Company — the opening move of the winter sprint, twelve days before 'Rules and Identity.' Nine tracks, a shade over twenty-eight minutes, with the three-and-a-half-minute title track (3:32) carrying the flag. Power-pop with avant-garde edges, tagged #MEGAPOP — NY-based Mike Vitali and crew working the sugary end of the Estate Lord console. December 2024 produced two distinct nine-track Estate Lord records — this one and 'Discipline' — a fact the owner has confirmed on the record. Tracklist and cover art recovered from the album's PENNY platform records; per-track timings pending the masters.

Rules and Identity2024

LP · 2024-12-22 · 8 tracks

Released December 22, 2024 on American Record (Albany, NY) — the project's founding document, and titled like one. Eight tracks that open on 'Possibly Infinity' and close on 'Immiscible Equilibrium': the whole Estate Lord aesthetic of hard science pressed into soft synths is here from the first record. 'Identity Crisis' and 'Make Ready' state the stakes; 'Casteau' and 'Thought Transfer' show the range. Built at IO666 with the full cross-country engine.

Discipline2024

LP · 2024-12-31 · 9 tracks

Released December 31, 2024 on American Record (Albany, NY) — nine days after the debut, issued on New Year's Eve so the title could keep its promise. 'Blank Stares at Neon Signs' opens the record's after-hours geography; 'Quantum Meruit' bills for it in Latin; 'Antes del Amanecer' takes it to just before dawn; 'I Feel Electric' is the four-minute center of gravity. The title track closes. Nine tracks, no idle motion.

20252025

Secret Gardens

'Secret Gardens' released February 11, 2025 — seventeen tracks, the project's widest canvas, closing on 'Alive Again.' Forty-three tracks in sixty-three days across the four records of the winter sprint.
