hobostrangler Really great lo-fi folk stuff. Really beautiful instrumentation. And a cool guy to boot. Favorite track: Pillbug.

Jonny Roasta This is loud and noisy poured all over gently-to-insanely played acoustic guitar with just the right amount of vocals and trippy sounds and shouting. In other words, it's absolutely great to listen to. Favorite track: Family Trees.

Ellen Hugo It's just an awesome little soundtrack to life in general. Can't help but be happy and bop along when you listen to any of the tracks! Favorite track: Pillbug.

Antarctican't This album is incredible. Where did this band come from? How is this album so fully formed, gorgeous, and complex?

It's like some wonderful combination of Le Loup, Animal Collective, and a haunting symphony played by cute woodland creatures.

Please keep making music, you are awesome! Favorite track: Cetacea.

This is just me saying hi A few split lips and a blackened eye Pitch a tent, sleep in the yard Light a fire, it’s getting dark This is just me saying bye You asked me what it’s like to die I wish I did, but I don’t know Just bury me, it’s getting cold

Cetacea 03:21
Overdressed and unimpressive Stumbling through another sentence And we talk, talk, talk, talk ‘Til we can’t stand ourselves anymore I’m tired Had a dream of a submarine That went way too slow Tried to swim away but it Just swallowed me whole

Zoetrope 02:45
Jump the mud And pump your blood And go! See! Be heard! Unnerved The roots of all feed it all So jump the mud And pump your blood

Cannonball 02:48
When I was six feet tall I heard a cannonball Rip through the air And it flew over where You were standing alone Waiting for someone to Take you back home And the cannonball It knocked you dead I couldn’t stand the sight I couldn’t stand upright You’ll never be again You’ll haunt me as my friend How about a kiss? How about a handshake? Never thought I’d miss The days you made me feel so anxious And if I see you, I’ll say Hey! It was nice to know you!

If I can’t find myself a break Then I know that I’ll find myself awake Alone in stranger’s bed Or possibly on the floor again And if it’s alright with you I’ll keep to myself if I spend A night or two It’s not easy to do Just something that I choose Da-doo-doo Da-doo-da-doo But I still got a lot to learn from you It’s true But you Don’t have a lot to teach So I’ll wait for you But if it gets too long Then I’ll have to wait for somebody new

Family Trees 04:32
A host for all the kind Of gritty, little ghosts That float all around my home I write a note For them to go, to go To help me to sleep alone I've got some knots They grow, they grow, they grow In the pit of my stomach And so they'll find my bones Inside of this little home Where the ghosts just won't leave me alone
