Hi, I’m Patrick, and Impeller Press is the new home for my design and publishing services, as well as the books, prints, music, and other products that I publish and create. I’m still sorting things out, so thanks for your patience, and please enjoy your visit!

New from Impeller Press Music

Blowhole’s new album BREAK THE HABIT is now available for pre-order on the Impeller Press bandcamp site.

These never-before-heard recordings represent some of Blowhole’s most fluidly intuitive music. The core personnel for these sessions were drummer Jeph Jerman and bassist/vocalist Patrick Barber, with several appearances by tenor saxophonist Aaron Wintersong, guest contributions from Robert Millis and Jeffery Taylor of the Climax Golden Twins, and a powerhouse cameo by alto saxophonist Wally Shoup.

Original recordings and initial edits by Patrick Barber and Jeph Jerman, 1996–1997. Mastering by Jeffrey Jefferson/PSYOP Media, 2023. Final edits by Patrick Barber, 2024. Cover design by Patrick Barber.

Released 5 April 2024 / IMPEL-D-004 / Digital distribution
