exchange my soul for gold and your ribs of wicker

About Me

"busy busy riffing going on virtually the whole time, the band is continuing to play "songs", not just mathematical pieces. Besides, these attain a general appreciation that can be completely absent of a working knowledge or musicianship and math in general. This band is just doing something awesome and deserves your attention (and commands it when you see them play). Really impressive and uplifting."
- James Fella, Gilgongo Records
"Their vocal harmonies and musical intersections didn’t sound like they shouldn’t work but the organic character somehow made it possible and rendered each song a marvel of musical invention. Not unlike the flight of the bumblebee—impossible according to principles of physics but which works elegantly against what we already know about nature. They closed with a song that fearlessly and playfully appropriated Arabic and Spanish guitar ideas and reconfigured them for a new context. Like Brooklyn’s The High Places, My Feral Kin is charting new musical territory—a phenomenon much needed in this day and age." -- Tom Murphy, The Westword
"...we experience some serious chills (this is our body's positive, uncontrolled reaction to music that really wows us)"
-Steve Jansen, The Phoenix New Times
"The music is equal parts indigenous folk and avant-garde jazz, with a character as wild as the name suggests." (album review) Tom Murphy, The Westword
