Birthday Letters

Inbred visionary

About Me

Birthday letters are all home recordings by the fine artist and musician Will Teather, who has recently made the vague leap sideways to MySpace. He also has a band with some friends, which makes quite a different noise. None of these projects ever play any gigs, but that will change someday. If you see a guy called Steve with a guitar, give him a hug. He's scared of the public. By the way, these tracks are quite old. Some new, more polished stuff, will appear later... I'll also happily collaborate on stuff I like... e.g. a current example of my vocals appears on myspace.com/soundofgom ... ...an album was also meant to be released by the lovely people at Slowglass Records, but since they are on hiatus I'm looking for a new label... otherwise I will release this stuff myself in the new year.
