THIS IS A BEARTOOTH COLLECTIVE AND COOKIE STORE PRODUCTION...
THE LOVE GARDEN ZENDO is a garden of songs with the qualities of unity, radical empathy, and the quest for knowledge (of self and external) deeply intertwined, with friendship and love at its (Heart)core. Interoceptive and introspective linguistics from Jouquin Fox, aided by verses from his homies (Lynclone, Dunzo Donalds, Rhys Langston, Megan's Grandma, Zel, Marrice Anthony, Freddy Stone, Will Black, Marty, Sleep Sinatra, CA$KETGIRL, Mantis the Miasma, and Cunabear), and with production guests (Iceberg Theory, SINAI, Vellum Bristol, BBDINGDONG, Essxr Txny, t.sage, bridge of sand, and Unsung), bring together a musical experience that can be looked outside in as a mixtape and inside out as an album. Play it front to back, you won't be disappointed. Click on the song with your favorite feature or producer, you'll be rewarded. Feel out song titles and start there, no need to be weary. Have fun and explore this album/mixtape/experience
our LOVE GARDEN ZENDO.
This project was wrote over the span of the last two / two and a half years as I finished WON'T HIDE THE MADNESS and began work on an album, then finished ABSTRACTION OF SQUANDERING THOUGHTS and also started a project, both making significant progress and meant to be their own things (fox b and the stoney poet society for codenames). Eventually as school went crazy and my best friend died, leaving my life in a spot of reconfiguration and rebuilding, that's just what I did with my music to get back on track. Nothing sounded right until I put it all together on a project, which I present to you here.
Happy Valentine's Day! Loads more music coming from me and the collective this year, including from me: an EP, album proper and a couple duo projects.
Check out Cunabear x Steel Tipped Dove 2 when it comes out next month as well, and make sure to keep an eye on the rest of our homies releases at
