Now that we’ve got all the available releases posted let’s think about the future.

Brendan Kerwin’s release is in the works and should be released sometime in the late summer.

Listen:The Bore

Brendan lingers between Elliot Smith, Nick Drake, Bert Jansch, a soft and whimsical Skip James and maybe Gershwin. He’s become more than these influences, but more incredibly, he’s become less than these.

With hard won aching and a bird or two croaking in the distance.

Motto, Berlin

The First Stone is the soundtrack for the leaving forests of the north, in search for another deep dark wild. These are songs of loss and longing, of an aggressive survivalism, in the husky and darkened voice of a masked female character.

Cartomancy and Chiromancy is an odd game of repetition and dissonance. It leads though a revelatory maze of piano, strings, horns and fragments of obscure words.
