   About the ocean floor
"Tall Tales & Small Tales" is now available from swim slowly records here... for $10.00 and all those digital places like emusic and i-tunes. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- a few words about this cd... "This Portland band left me slack-jawed with surprise and delight. It's the perfect record for tramping around in your favorite old-growth forest, watching the ferns grow. Lane Barrington's springy good humor and light-as-a-twinkie vocals make me smile every time I hear them. The acoustic jazz sound takes some very unusual turns--some tracks are perhaps less than accessible. But on songs like "A Simple Adventure", he's really on to something." - April Baer OPB Morning Edition --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Enamored with a sense of wonder and fascination while never supposing that the novelty of any given situation can ever run out, the album is a loot bag of bejeweled sounds and Barrington’s lyrical versions of a suburban magic-realism. It contains anti-cynicism in concentrated form and whimsical weirdness for weirdness’ sake, all of it bypassing twee’s often overbearing preciousness and supposition that being calculatedly unconventional or childlike should be enough." - cokemachineglow.com
