   About Perhapst
PERHAPST IS JOHN MOEN FROM THE DECEMBERISTS! ALBUM ALSO FEATURES STEPHEN MALKMUS PLAYING GUITAR.

Former Elliott Smith/Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks drummer, John Moen, a current member of The Decemberists, used his time off from touring to make Perhapst’ s self-titled debut.

"Perhapst" is filled with quirky, catchy, hook-laden indie-pop, experimental folk-rock, and even some twang for flavor, all delivered with a smirk and a smile.

John Moen plays the majority of instruments on the record. Friends such as engineer Eric Lovre (of the Dharma Bums) also lent some instrumentation help, and Stephen Malkmus assisted Moen, too, playing some guitar on the record.

The live band consists of: John Moen, Chris Funk (also a current member of The Decemberists), Jonathan Drews (Sunset Valley), and Eric Lovre (Dharma Bums).

Some may remember John Moen as the front man for NW favorites The Maroons, or drummer for the widely popular early 90s indie-rock outfit Dharma Bums (Frontier Records). However, here, much like in The Maroons, Moen showcases his sweet, lullaby-esque vocals, dreamy melodies, and ability to create laid-back, sophisticated pop hooks with cloud-like softness, ensuring that anyone that listens to Perhapst’s self-titled record will walk away relaxed, at ease, and humming a song or two.

Track Listing:

1. "Quote"
2. Maryanne
3. Blue Year
4. Hyper Planets
5. Cruel Whisk
6. Caution
7. Incense Cone
8. Harbour
9. Alamand
10. Bornless One
11. Aren’t You Glowing

We had such a great time at the show, and we don't stay out on a "school night" for just anything! While I may have missed some sleep, my dreaming hours were filled with lovely thoughts of all you sweet boys from the Yamhill days.

Love to you Mr.
Moen!!
