Windchimes & Landmines

About Me

"Windchimes and Landmines" EP now available. BUY NOW

" 'Windchimes and Landmines' might be only six songs long, but it is rich and complex, with much more going on musically and lyrically than most full-length releases." - The Seattle Times (Tom Scanlon)

"This is dance music as Seattle enjoys it: brooding and musically unpredictable." - The Seattle P-I
