music for broken, ripped and bloody hearts."
- Leah Callahan, THE NOISE
"swooning romantic beauty, melancholy, puckish wit, a mix of folk,
jazz and German Cabaret."

(video by ben parsons) WHAT TIME IS IT? 1910 in kansas? 1933 in paris? 1700's in a german forest? a cornfield in 1974? new york city bar in 1948?
WHO is MR. FOX? a dahl character? bluebeard-like bachelor? a teacher? a friendly furry creature with an intimate knowledge of clocks? any ideas are welcome.
never fit into a scene. never subscribe to a specific genre. just try to be true to
the guts of the song. whether it be gospel, carnival, psychedelic blues, folk,
country or a collage, we hope the truth of it comes through.
lots of songs about relationships and their many beautiful and demonic manifestations. songs about identity, and trying to make sense of the inner workings of our own clocks. and of course the occasional "i just got dumped,"
"i'm afraid you're going to dump me," or "you smell" songs.
so i write the songs and fantasize about being some sort of male annie lennox. nathan travels abroad like bartok, collects ideas, and basically proves you can
play any type of music on a violin. so when we make music we get to be
transported to turkey, alabama, ghana, hungary, ireland and sometimes pluto.
Yo What Time Is It, Mr. Fox?, Whenever I listen to your music. I feel like singing too. But your talent is unmatched. How much time you spend to rehearse per day What Time Is It, Mr. Fox?? Love ya. B PS:Follow Me on Twitter at http://twitter.com/iaent
Thank you! I did make it home safe and without incident. You guys really blew my mind the other night. Good luck with everything coming down the pipeline.
