   About fireflies
my name's lisle. i make music sometimes, and when i do this is what it is. i had to write a bio for a class once and it said something like this:

"i grew up in the tundras of new england playing classical piano and one day i moved to california to go to school and decided to start writing songs. i bought a portastudio and started recording, combining my love for lo-fi indie recordings of the 1980s and 90s with my unrefined knowledge of classical arrangement. i try to craft each song into a tiny snow-globe-sized universe you can curl up in and get lost for a little while."

currently working on: "autumn almanac" (new album).

Hi Lisle'
I really, really like 'Everything's Hiddden Away'. It's a good thing you moved to California as it has a real sunny, poppy, West Coast feel to it which fits perfectly.
take care,
~sighrens~

I'd be up for trying to write something along this style...what do you think? I'm having such a hard time writing songs with an original 60s sound.
