Sounds LikeRags and bones and pipes and tones and lovely delights wrapped in horrific ribbons. One must listen really to the tunes and then begin a long adjustment to what may or may not be taking place during these tunes. Lyrics should be taken as metaphorical buckets full of birds. Dig? One must listen with ones elbows or ankels or chins or ears. CHECK OUT HAYMAKER! HERE:http://www.yeproc.com/upload/media/view_media.php?id=605

Goose bumps, also called goose flesh, goose pimples, chill bumps, or the medical term cutis anserina, are the bumps on a person's skin at the base of body hairs which may involuntarily develop when a person is cold or experiences strong emotions such as fear or awe.

Listen to the new track on our player: 'My Proud Mountains' by J. Tillman
