all these magical happy accidents that make the world go round...
surfing in the waves of wabi-sabi - a beauty of things imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete; the beauty of things modest and humble; the beauty of things unconventional.

We also just sent in a restock of CDs cuz people have been liking the album... some more good reviews:
Hi guys,
ok, you got a very good production, very good ideas for songs.. but
BLOODY HELL, the lead singer has one of the most interesting voices
I ever heard. I mean it, really. It's not just the beauty of the
tone. she has the devil in her throat..pure emotion coming out.
absolutely fantastic, got shivers as soon as she started singing.
you could be among the most interesting new artists recently come
out in this genre, and I really wish you make it BIG, 'cos you're
at "another level".
I am not being nice to you..you really deserve to be at the top.
much love from a new fan!
Val
Great
Such a smooth intro, via the Zero 7 kind of route. This song is fantastic, the lead vocals are spectacular. The verse is just so damn smooth it hurts my nuts. The mood is like that smokey bar feeling, where the drug deals and poker games are going on in the backroom. Ha! I dunno. I thought it was a really tight song, that's the point, the bass, the strings, the changeup even kind of got me, in a way, kind of Portishead meets Led Zeppelin. Nice work.

I'm happy to announce that my new album "Songs From The Films Of David Lynch" is out now.
"Truly unsettling and perplexingly brilliant... testament to both the quality of Lynch’s soundtracks and Truax’s talents" - The Skinny
"Truax is paying homage to a kindred spirit with this album. It's the best kind of tribute – affectionate and respectful, but with its own quirks and imaginative leaps and its own distinct identity." -The Scotsman
