In the mood for some good freak folk???
The debut album from this Seattle based band is close to flawless, and in my opinion, as present day folk based records go, unmatched. The albums force comes in the form of powerful and sometimes haunting vocal harmonies that act as the strongest instrument in the band. The record is also the perfect length, short enough not to lose interest and definitely long enough to leave you satisfied.
Tiger Mountain Peasant Song
" In the town one morning I went
Staggering through premonitions of my death
I don't see anybody that dear to me
Dear shadow alive and well
How can the body die
You tell me everything
Anything true
Jesse
I don't know what I have done
I'm turning myself to a demon"
The album needs to be heard in full but here are a few of my favorites...
"White Winter Hymnal"
"He Doesn't Know Why"
"Your Protector"

"I was lying in a burned out basement With the full moon in my eyes. I was hoping for replacement When the sun burst thru the sky. There was a band playing in my head And I felt like getting high. I was thinking about what a Friend had said I was hoping it was a lie. Thinking about what a Friend had said I was hoping it was a lie." -neil young-
