raise high!

way down in new orleans

About Me

raise high! is named after a bit of a poem by sappho about a bridegroom. raise high! is informed by gospel and soul? and also various displays of miniatures especially those retrieved from fast foot restaurants and stolen from christmas displays. raise high! is maintained by loose change and you know pretty kind people and ceiling fans. also weather and hope and whether and diction duh.
i self released a record in the spring of 2006 called 'the two little birds' and you can find its tracklisting above! as of february 2007 i am planning a split with NEVER EVER and an ep called 'a heat' for release sometime this year. post 'little birds' songs include:
'pretty keys'
'so many useful things'
'of oregon'
'claudia cardinale'
'go on'
'pace'
'face the west'
'railroad cowboy'
'the gentle swing and sway'
'i see the land'
'in the morning'
'julieta (musk theory)'
'venus anadyomene'
'on your own'
'the great bear'
'daisys lullaby'
'sweat soak blues'
'way down in new orleans'
'lazy sun'
consistent applicable and determined themes are pretty much summarized by the title of that post slanted & enchanted pavement ep 'watery domestic'. so look, give a tune a listen and think real hard about watery domestic things like sinks and roots and rainstormz. dig.
i also record noises and post them sometimes in this space . neat huh.
