"The band's lush melodies and cello and keyboard layers have been catching ears around the Bay" "...dynamic indie pop sound..." -The Bay Bridged
"...a delicate balance of texture and emotion..." -Letssexyfighting
"...the set ended with me feeling like I’d be hearing more from this band." -ipickmynose
"...not only a collection of skilled musicians and cohesive instrumentation, but music that [is] provoking and intelligent with lyrics to match. Like a mix of Arcade Fire and Clap Your Hands Say Yeah...the band's set left many audience members gaping and whispering in awe..." -PERFORMER, 2007
i was thinking it would be way cool if i played with geographer at the album release party...but i will unfortunately be eating blueberries with my grandpa.
i'm proud of you boys!
also. mike, i had a dream about hugging you the other night. it was very warm.
Hey Geographer I played a song off the teaser EP you passed on to me. Let the fans know they should listen to the Cool As Folk show archive or view the playlist for this week’s program OVER HERE.
too bad eugene's not cool enough to make it on your calendar, i'm in art school here; well eugene really isn't cool enough for my calendar either, i'm moving to seattle at summer's end. i trust you'll be gracing the emerald city with your dulcet tones from time to time. in the future when you do play seattle, let's laugh in beers. unfortunately, most people aren't as funny as you, mike. for this reason i am going to have to require your company. i will start trying to remember jokes (right).
