The Sensation That's Sweeping My Basement...

About Me

The story:
Sohcahtoa (sew-kuh-toe-uh) formed in January 2006 in a Galion, Ohio basement. Bored with playing covers in garage bands, Eric, Mark, and Tim formed Sohcahtoa as an attempt to dig their way out of the “standard four-chord rock music” rut that they had found themselves in. The resulting music draws from the Ambient, Experimental, and Post-Rock genres, and often flirts with Folk and Elecronica. In 2007, Mark left the band to pursue other interests and Bart Summit joined to group.
About “Sohcahtoa Advocates Headphones”:
To truly be intimate with certain types of music, we like to sit with closed-eyes and headphones to actively listen and pick things out. While we think there are infinite numbers of ways people can listen to music, we made this album with active, headphone-listeners in mind. There are certain aspects of our music that are better heard while listening intently though headphones, such as a motorcycle driving by during ‘Dog and Pony Show’ or Tim’s seat squeaking during ‘Truckstop Breakfast.’-tim
