Serpents and Snakes
I’m elated to announce that we’ve signed with Serpents and Snakes. Details on everything coming soon, but for now here’s a few things we’re getting ready for. Broad strokes, padawan.
Firstly, we’ll be releasing a newly recorded version of ‘The House We Grew Up In’ alongside a video shot by our buds at Lunch & Recess. When that happens, you, your...

Offdaze Vol. VII
Over the years I’ve accumulated a handful of songs that I just can’t use on mixtapes. Sometimes it’s a terribly recorded version of a song that’s so good I just don’t care, but I’m not sure if they’ll feel the same. Sometimes it’s a 20th century pop canon that’s so mainline it feels too obvious. Whether they’re too weird, too sad, too...

Keys to the Kingdom
The past is ever with us, Every was is still, pushing us on - the future before us pulling. Too briefly trapped in the moment, we struggle to understand. In faith, we sing. Let the music become a magic current, a path from the holy past to the unknowable future. Take reassurance in the glory of the moment and the forever promise of tomorrow. Sing the phantom song, honeysuckle sweet with the mule...

General goings on.
Regrettably, our tour with Junior Astronomers is over. We’re home in Nashville for a few days. Flying to Idaho on Friday for a private show outside of Sun Valley. As of now the only thing I know about Idaho is that potatoes are and Built to Spill are their top exports. After that we have a few college shows filling out this month, which are below.
In the meantime, respond to this with some...

Broken down in Thomasville, NC. We’ll still be in Charlotte at the Snug Harbor tonight, but for now these lovely ladies are keeping us company . Apparently we’re in “Chair City”. About to set out on an adventure for coffee/the “big chair”.
Wolf Like Me w/ Junior Astronomers 7/27
We’ve been covering TV On the Radio’s “Wolf Like Me” with Junior Astronomers on this tour and our friend Derek Middlebrook took some video of it last night in Atlanta. Proof that we’ve been steamrolling the South together. There’s also a hefty chunk of our song “Steamboat” afterwards.
