::DEFINITION::

thelittlestillnotbigenough is a concept, like a burning light which is kindled in the solar-plexus of each of our tumultuous ensemble. those of us who huddle together to create sound in unison become the "band" and by doing so we vibrate as one. yet those who prefer to go alone are sadly wished "farewell!" and set free. we continue to be an ever-expanding, ever-rotating cast of ghosts, brought together by an insatiable desire to make music in a dangerously dynamic and constantly creative aether-realm.
::SOME REVIEWS::

"Snobbish individuals could draw comparisons to the work of indie-mainstays such as Animal Collective or The Books, but that would be to undermine the fact that both live and recorded, tlsnbe sound largely unlike anything else currently on the market...entirely poetic, wholly insightful, and hellishly absurd."
--Juliana Boggs

TLSNBE, thebignooneunderstandsme LP REVIEW
"A record of disturbing beauty and complex vision. Kumsar [and Clark] pile layers upon layers of vocals, guitars, and weird noises building almost every song to the point of near-cacophony - it's a record you could probably listen to 50 times before you discern exactly what's going on. Kumsar's sweet, clear vocals cut through it all, singing about ghosts, family, America, religion and a million other little things. It's like someone emptied out a junk drawer, an attic, a whole life, all over the tape and we listeners are left to sort through the trash and treasure. But we know by know those are all the same thing."

::an hilarious YOUTUBE COMMENT on our song "Drawings By Abducted Children"::
"For one, I do not see anthing here having to do with abducted children who have been abducted by aliens, government or pedophiles. There are people involved in these causes and it is easily misunderstood your adding this statement...."Drawings By Abducted Children." This is a nightmare...any abduction. It has nothing to do with your music, other than you think something in one of these realms is cool. Not to be taken lightly...and having nothing to do with your music. In appropriate mix.
"Your music so sucks, that is why you had to use this desperate tactic to get attention. Children are out there crying and dying and you care more about your dream that will never come true. Become a politician, you'll fit right in.
"And your music does not suck...just is not something that I resonate with. -prethenie"
