Album Notes

Graham Reynolds of the Golden Arm Trio has composed the soundtrack to the upcoming film A Scanner Darkly, starring Keanu Reeves and Robert Downey, jr.

“Brilliant...No album in recent memory has ever included such an array of timbres, styles and instrumentation and still felt like a cohesive opus.” -- musicwhore.org

“The second album from the Golden Arm Trio finds sole constant member Graham Reynolds expanding his already formidable stylistic range to new eclectic heights while retaining his ear for strong, memorable melodies.
Is there anything this man can't do?” – Austin Chronicle

"Classically neo jazzetic carnival music, this newest release from Graham Reynolds' Golden Arm Trio, featuring the Tosca String Quartet, is an excellent specimen of contemporary progressive scoremanship. With an entire ship load of musicians, packing everything from vibraphones to tubas, and all the strings in between, creating a 19 song compilation of intriguing compositions, sometimes beautifully serene, other times darkly morose..." -- Proper Gander

"ONE OF THE TOP TEN AUSTIN ALBUMS OF THE DECADE" - Austin Chronicle.
