about

Originally released via A Red Thread in February 2023. All proceeds went to the Monterey Park Community Healing Fund (calfund.org/monterey-park-community-healing-fund). From Patrick:

you never expect disasters to take place where you grew up, let alone one of the worst mass shootings to ever happen in California.
since the murders took place, the community has mourned. i caught up with friends from middle school and high school, everyone at one point or another mentioning the same thing, "we can't believe it took place so close to home." although i don't live in Monterey Park anymore, I still drive down Garfield where the shooting took place as it is a 5 minute drive from my auntie's house. i've driven down that street more than 10 times since the shooting but still can't bring myself to visit the dance studio...
the music presented here isn't something that was a response to the shooting, but Dustin and I have talked at length about what had happened as well as the anti-asian hate crimes that have peaked in the current years. i am glad i have him by my side.
being a musician i often feel powerless in situations like this, but i hope we can give anyone who listens to this some sort of understanding and comfort.

dedicated to Mymy Nhan, Xiujuan Yu, Hongying Jian, Yu Lun Kao, Valentino Marcos Alvero, Wen Tau Yu, Ming Wei Ma, Diana Man Ling Tom, Muoi Dai Ung, Chia Ling Yau & Lilan Li
