About Me

Mt. Wilson Repeater s/t (EF-003)
Compact Disc
Mt. Wilson Repeater is a new project from Jim Putnam of Los Angeles' fabled Radar Bros. This new CD has all of the layered, flowing sounds of Jim Putnam's voice but departs from his earlier work with a whimsical feeling brought about through more instrumental (electronic/acoustic) means.
"'Canmtady' is a melodic melange of fizzy guitars, undulating synths and shuddery shakers..."
- Magnet
"Jim Putnam displays substantial musical ingenuity..."
- Tiny Mix Tapes
"There's something both comfortable and chellenging about the way Mt. Wilson Repeater seduces you."
- Coke Machine Glow
"There may not be a more well-designed mechanism for clearing your mind than this lava lamp."
- Metromix
Available at your local independent record store or on iTunes!
Anom So It's Come To This... (EF-001)
Compact Disc
Anom returns in 2005 with his full-length album, "So It's Come To This". Ten tracks of the real Hip Hop. Flowing rhymes backed by a funky rhythm guitar, the title track sets the album's tone. "So It's Come To This" is as much a personal evaluation and call to arms as it is a straight head-nodder offering refreshing accessibility. The most avid hip-hop heads will embrace its purity while the casual music fan can sit back, relax and enjoy.
"Anom is set to make an impact on hip hop."
- URB
"Worthy, Intelligent, Thoughtful..."
- Scratch
"Neat Little Packages is a straight-up hip-hop classic..."
- Exclaim!
"9 (out of 10)"
- Kevchino.com
Available at your local independent record store or on iTunes!
Crooked Fingers Sleep All Summer (EF-002)
Limited Edtion 7" Vinyl Single
Recorded on The Delgados/Crooked Fingers tour of 2004, it features Eric Bachmann singing and playing acoustic guitar, Emma Pollock from The Delgados, Alan Barr, The Delgados' cellist and Lara Meyerratken from Crooked Fingers. Its two of the most beautiful songs you've ever heard recorded straight into a MiniDisc player in the Parish Room of the First Unitarian Church of Philadelphia, PA...!
"This 7" restores [Eric Bachmann's] status as a magnificently miserable bastard."
- Magnet Magazine
"Two powerful songs..."
