About Me

Currently living in Madrid with only a half-sized nylon-string guitar and a laptop and a gillion pages of spanish literature to read/write, so plans are moving slowly unfortunaltely. But i'm making a trilogy of ep's: "songs for boats" (you can guess), "B-Boy or die" (sound collage/ambient), "Pandemia" (80s vocoded electro). these three will hopefully be finished up in july.
"Songs for Babes" will be released in early september by Own Records!
(early press at barkandhiss.com/talons)
Talons' in HD has been "released" via barkandhiss.com along with everything else.
the "work clothes" b/w "black heart, white woman" digi7inch is on gabe schray's great Actual Archives virtual label (http://www.actualarchives.com)
central ohio.
emo/folk/post 9-11.
more info/free downloads of pretty much everything at www.barkandhiss.com.
i would start at the middle if you..ve never heard the band. "rustic bullshit" is the most formal recording
there are still about a billion copies of "songs for babes" at bark & hiss wearhouse though...
