Tallest Trees

I'm feeling a bit folkish.

About Me


You were supposed to live forever.

I am the lo-fi king. Bow down before the greatness of the one true leader of shit sounds. I record everything in a single take for better or for worse(usually worse). I use only the most elementary of recording techniques, for I am a simpleton in the field. I wear a crown of sorrow and philosophy jeweled only with my delusions of grandeur and a strong sense of self importance. These songs are really good. They are. Believe it.
