About the album experience:
“Breakfast at Kev’s” (BAK) is an album experience inspired by Zach’s time at Pacifica College and the reading of Carl Jung’s “Red Book.”
The “Red Book” is Jung’s (and ultimately our own) rare reckoning and internal descent into madness in order to explore the psyche.
Thea Breakfast at Kev’s story begins when you go to Kevin’s for breakfest, he hands you a mirror and suddenly you are in your own intestinal labyrinth encountering beings galore. You meet Word Man a demented story telling god and Pink Ski Mask Vacuum Woman who methodically vacuums up all of Word Man’s stories.
This 36 song album (broken up into 6 6-song EPs which we will be realizing one at a time) and now feature film is a living embodiment of the journey.

USBeing Connected via Dust
is a film written and directed by Zach and Alex. USBeing Connected via Dust is a play on the USB device and human connection. The machines connect us via USBs and vacuums while the face of Kevin leads us through a labyrinth with ski masked allies. Who is Kevin? Kevin is you. Kevin is me. Us.
USBeing Connected via Dust is a surreal feature film that blossomed out of a 36-song-album, endless hours pouring over The Red Book, belly laughs and the birth canal of The Vacuuniverse.
We have currently self funded and filmed half of this project ourselves and are seeking 22k USD to bring it home.
Your contribution to this project allows us to pay the beautiful and passionate creatives who are bringing this to life.
We’ve gathered filmmakers, poets and performance artists from California to South Africa to birth a collaborative work that transcends linearity, lineage and the material world. A fever dream, the nature of connection, what happens when we choose to explore the messy and unfiltered depths of our own inner realms.
Exclusive Drops to Support this Project
Over the course the next few months we’ll be releasing exclusive artifacts, toys, limited run books and more from multiple creative branches of Channel the Sun.
