discovered winter 2011Made alone in a cabin over one winter, and it sounds exactly like that — isolated, raw, built from grief with company somehow. The lo-fi recording, the falsetto, the layered guitars: it's the sound of someone making art to survive something. Re: Stacks is one of the best closing tracks on any record.
