Album Notes

Presaging the free/freak/acid-folk boom by almost a decade, Stone Breath carved a unique place in what was then a very lonely neighborhood. “Songs of Moonlight and Rain,” the first Stone Breath album, struck a spectral note somewhere between Syd Barrett singing nature poetry and The Incredible String Band’s more lonesome moments; blended with experimental graveyard-songs and acoustic drones into a brew of darkness and hope; nature and supernature; love and loss.

This 10-year anniversary edition presents the entire original album with nine bonus tracks! Several bonus tracks from the same period – dating back to the very first Stone Breath song ever recorded (1995), all of the songs from the "Strange Familiars" 7" ep, and related songs from later periods, including a collaboration with Fit & Limo.
