Influences: hums and whistles in the shower, movie soundtracks, catchy loops from old video games, melancholic canoodling in a minor key, radical reinterpretations
Sounds Like: the poor man's geoff berner and the poor man's "weird al" yankovic meet on a street corner and decide to rob al mader, the minimalist jug band. before hitting the pawn shop, they play every pilfered album from his collection through once.
