"13 Tracks spanning 40 minutes with an eerily wonderful sense of melody & harmony, deftly crafted lyrics, amazing ambience and beautiful lo-fi hiss" - b3nson
"no-fi folk of the darkish, fractured variety" - forest gospel
"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 would be honored if you gave a little visit to the ‘crum. The first conversation of the month is with Todd Rohal, writer and director of The Guatemalan Handshake (which starred Will Oldham). The fulcrum also features fiction and artwork that is certainly worth a gander or two. http://themovablefulcrum.blogspot.com
