So happy that three songs from my new album Pop Popular have entered the top 10 Kochalka songs on Spotify. Especially kinda excited to see Call the Beatles on there, as it's from deeper into the album. Wrote that one while camping at Kettle Pond in Vermont. (Album cover is the Bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia)
announcing Pop Popular, a new full-length James Kochalka Superstar album (now up for preorder on Bandcamp, releasing Sept. 19.) Today is Bandcamp Friday, and they're waiving their normal fees so that all $ from sales goes to the artist, so it's a great day to preorder.
Black Gum
I wrote this song walking down the sidewalk in NYC, and recorded a quick demo for this video. I'll probably flesh it out into a full song...
Banana Fox by James Kochalka meets InvestiGators by John Patrick Green! Just a little drawing we did for fun and to cross-promote our awesome detective-graphic novels. Silly and smart books for kids.

arguably the greatest rock record of all time is finally up on Bandcamp: https://kochalka.bandcamp.com/album/monkey-vs-robot
I'd put this album head to head with the greatest albums by Ween, TMBG, or The Moldy Peaches. Enjoy!
