Sounds Like
"moody folk songs with a bleeding edge"
"bird-crazy, dark-folk song cycles"
"pulsing, experimental Americana"
"somber elegant folk in league with Low, Black Heart Procession, Sixteen Horsepower, Red House Painters and Mountain Goats"
"An earth-toned tapestry of strummy acoustic guitar, sinewy electric guitar textured with unexpected percussive and atmospheric elements."
"a multi-layered undertaking full of wonderful metaphors and musical invention"
"an audible topography that really requires a still room, absolute focus or both to absorb"

'COLLOSAL' live on The Social Radio Show on Wed 18th Nov '09!!
'Collosal' is such a beautifully melodic and gorgeously harmonic song that it is a feature track for my radio show which is due to be aired Wednesday 18th Nov '09 from 18:30 to 20:30 on ICR FM. It's broadcast in the Ipswich, Suffolk area of the UK on 105.7 FM or online at www.icrfm.co.uk - this is also available on 'listen again' via the website for a week after the show is broadcast live.
I wish you every success for the future, and if you keep writing music like this then The Social will be backing you all the way!
