The Garden

Pudding Jackson & The Meantone Coalition - 2026

A quiet album about division, memory, and the fragile work of staying human.  

​Eight songs connected by a shared town and the people who move through it — friends drifting apart, neighbors talking past one another, small moments where fear and kindness collide.  The Garden looks outward at a fractured community and inward at the cost of staying open in uncertain times.  It’s an album about tending what remains, even when the ground feels exhausted.

Kings of Mediocrity 

Pudding Jackson & The Meantone Coalition - 2025

A sharper, more ironic record — songs about ambition, disillusionment, and the strange comfort of settling in.

Where The Garden leans toward empathy and repair, Kings of Mediocrity turns the mirror back.  These songs wrestle with ego, compromise, and the quiet decisions that shape a life long before anyone notices.  It’s restless, wry, and self-aware — a snapshot of becoming, before the need to understand others took hold.
