Lunar Eclipse by Brother Bird
What people have said about us... "Smiley low-fi folk pop originating in sunny so-Cal - think of a summer dress like the kind you'd wear to the beach or to an idyllic afternoon on a tire swing over a swimming hole in the forest."
-This is Not a Record Label
"...inspired by Sufjan Stevens, Southern California folk rockers Your Yellow Dress.. pen innocent little ditties about their beloved Orange County... put to jangly guitars and loud trombones. Cute and kitschy? Yes."
-Michael Lopez (Phoenix New Times)
Right now: song are also being written based on other counties in california. This Counties of California project will be on going with EP's, singles, and albums being released based on the different counties in california, so after Orange County there will only be 57 more left to do! Next up is El Dorado County
We'd love to play a show everywhere thats anywhere with in the bay area or southern california. Just send us a message or email us: alexposka [at] berkeley.edu!
