Album Notes

---from the May 10th, 2006 edition of the Boise Weekly:

"...Intrigued, I popped Orphans Volume One (the first in what is to be a three-part series) into iTunes not sure of what to expect. I was awed. The tracks are artful, clever, odd, melodic and full of interesting sounds and smart beats. I listened through the five songs and then put the other benedicteyeball, five-track CD titled Imperfectionist Collectionist in. This one is a little darker, the beats are a little harder and the melodies are a little more experimental and progressive, but it's as interesting and enjoyable a listen as the first..."

the solitary efforts of a young artist…

countless hours in studio quarantine have resulted in a diverse catalog of soundscapes, (almost) pop songs, open-ended existential ruminations and many a delightful groove. often mid-tempo, these rhythms buoy a tasty palette of well-placed sounds.

“it’s not that i don’t play well with others. i’m quite affable, in fact. the solitude of the no-car garage studio, however, has afforded me an avenue for an uncompromised stab at something all my own.”

you might call it:

space-folk-post-rock.

{influenced by the likes of: MMW, sounds like braille, beck, radiohead, bob dylan, fiona apple & the jai alai savant.}
