Chris has around 20 releases since 1991, mostly under his own name, while moonlighting as a metal guy and otherwise collaborating.

We discuss “She Looks Good in Black” from Obsolete Path (2025), “Intransitive Proverb” from Limitations of the Source Tape (2017), and “Angel Be Mine” from Your Own Chosen Speed (2001). End song: “Sisiphus” by Däng from Tartarus: The Darkest Realm (2014). Intro: “Every Time” by Flat Earth from Prefacipice (1991). More at chrischurch1.bandcamp.com and bigstirrecords.com/chris-church.

Hear all of “Every Time,” and watch Flat Earth play it live back in the day. Watch the video from “She Looks Good in Black.” That song (and video) features my former guest Lindsay Murray. There are many more videos of his tunes at youtube.com/@ChrisChurchMusic, including this nice one we refer to at the very end of Chris playing beardless with several musicians in an acoustic setting at a church.

Watch Däng live in 2012. Hear both of their albums in full. Hear Chris backing his wife Lori as Lady Darkevyl. Here’s Chris live in the supergroup The Long Players (with my former guest Bill Lloyd). Here he is playing live with Junkflower.
