Band Members:
Influences: I KNOW , I KNOW , Where's my top 25 list as if that would be some indication of who I sound like! I really don't think I "sound" like anyone but myself.Influences,I feel, are the most misunderstood subject in music.It has come to mean "who do you ape". Influences for me take the much more subtle form of lessons learned and absorbed into my own persona ,internalized , not worn on my sleeve.
That being said , I will list some of my mentors.1. The melodic sparseness of Miles Davis (quality of notes over quantity) 2. The appegiating music of folk , folk-rock and all the hybrids of it. 3 The moodiness,electro feel and drama of 90s trip-hop(especially Portishead). 4. The lyrics and phrasing of Lou Reed, Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan and Richard Butler.
Sounds Like: Equipment:Richard Forrest Harlow plays electric autoharp through Line 6 effects into a Fender Bluesmaster Deluxe amp,Lee Oscar harmonicas,Roland

In Radiohead's new video for "House of Cards", no cameras or lights were used. Instead, 3D plotting technologies collected information about the shapes and relative distances of objects.
