"13 Tracks spanning 40 minutes with an eerily wonderful sense of melody & harmony, deftly crafted lyrics, amazing ambience and beautiful lo-fi hiss" - b3nson
"another pleasurable stroll through enchanted forests filled with animals that only spit venomous honeysuckle." - SCTAS
"Combining the backyard lo-fi of the Olivia Tremor Control, the miniature bombast of now-bands like the Arcade Fire or Clap Your Hands Say Yeah (minus the irritating vocals), and any amount of folk, indie pop, and even dreamy shoegaze (is there any other kind?)" - nadav carmel, erasing clouds
"So this is what happens when folk music gets to 1989. Or maybe not. Maybe this isnt folk music at all. Maybe under the lightly picked guitars, matching keyboard melodies, occasional organ flare, Midwestern gothic lyrics and layers of tape hiss, this is just plain old-fashioned indie rock. Kinda ugly looking, certainly not that well thought out, and definitely not what is to be expected these days."- Coke Machine Glow
I drank deeply of Dionysius' draught, discovering only too late that I'd imbibed not the sweet nectar of the Olympian gods but Schlitz malt liquor. Man, I was fucked up worse than Zeus at the feast of Lupercal...
So I got online tonight and saw a bulletin that said you're *in town* tomorrow...! If I rush to Rejoice House after work, I'll get to see you guys. Yay for unexpected goodness!
when chickens walk through your yard at night, it's a good sign. that means you will be a comin into a few extra piles of honey when the dew point hits 45. be sure that when you eat them wings, that you dip em in the honey and salute twice to the hidden chickens in the yard and the mice that nickle and dime ya.
you guys suck pretty bad. just throwin that out there. you might wanna consider not playing music anymore. APRIL FOOLS!!! ah ha, that was real funny wasnt it?
