About Me

"windings" is the eponymous album out now on Out On A Limb Records (home to Waiting Room, giveamanakick, Rest and Ten Past Seven). Recorded in bursts over a four year period, "windings" was finally whittled down to 14 songs late 2004. All songs are written and performed by Steve (giveamanakick/tooth) along with a little help from some of his friends. Everything about the album, its artwork, its compositions and its recording, is positively home grown. "windings" flits from lo-fi acoustic melodies to Scuzzy rock, from woozy instrumentals to ambient electronic pieces, from pure pop to dirgy almost-metal, all of which makes for a truly original and invigorating listening experience. windings has played with the likes of Smog, The Handsome Family, Bob Mould, Malcolm Middleton, Okerville River, Daniel Johnston, Jape, Caribou, and FlyPanAm, so if you're into any of them, chances are you might be into windings!
