“For my money, HCB is one of the best lyricists – and poets – in the country. His work at the keyboards is poetry too.” — Steven Heighton
On Pacem 2, Brown mirrors present-day events in the turbulent episodes of 1968, drawing parallels with the violence, disinformation and drastic efforts of authoritarian regression.
The album transcends genres, with piano instrumentals like 1968 and Beautiful Place side by side with pop songs like Your Love, Guilty and the poetic collage of Prometheus.
Released April 1, 2024

BEFORE THE COLLAPSE OF THE HIVE
Before The Collapse Of The Hive
Listen / Buy
Before The Collapse Of The Hive is an album brimming with raw, unflinching urgency, steadfast observation and soul-searching storytelling that highlights Stephen’s immediate world: those he loves, and those he’s lost. This album looks deeper at our collective place in a world seemingly falling apart. It’s a continued conversation between Stephen and his close friend and beloved radio enigma, Dave Bookman, whom Stephen shared the loss of, just prior to starting to work on these songs.
