sticklertickler This album is a wonderful story! The concept of have a story book to accompany the music is something that I find truly admirable and hope artists like that continue to flourish. Favorite track: Mirage in the Fog.

drakevinyl Awesome chill vibes, a great listen to just let wash over you. Also awesome seeing an artist from Indiana, good to know music like this is coming from home! Favorite track: Destellos Verde.

about

~ behold songbirds at sea!

an epic adventure of two brave songbirds out in the midst of the ever expansive and sometimes unforgiving mother-ocean and their quest to return home.

this endearing tale includes a special cassette which resides within a beautifully illustrated hardback book (including poems and paintings for each track). illustrated by the very talented maria gordon (her beautiful images and colors breathe life, beauty and bring a dark, folky charm to the album as a whole).

special guests include multi-instrumentalist/studio musician jacob gleason (groovincible, be brave bold robot, the dirty feet), craig allen cox (daemones, phantom note, pink snowflakes) and lovely narration by katie schultz. warmly and tactically mastered by michael southard (time rival, triplicate records).

i am very proud to present this album to everyone (a creation that has taken on a life of its own). In the end, perhaps we are all songbirds at sea... ~

it's good, just slow down on the music library, it can end up assassinating the chances of mainstays of keeping up with your music. but if your aim is an infinite library, go for it. vaporronin
