A NARROW WAY (2008)

An album recorded in a "classic" or possibly "classy" fashion: the whole band playing together in the room, doing a take while someone in the other room mixes it live to tape. Mess up and you do the whole thing over. No overdubs, no punch-ins.

Available on CD from HUSH
Available on vinyl from Jealous Butcher

An album of piano songs, recorded on Elliott Smith's old piano before it was loaded on a truck and sent off to some museum. Quiet, sleep-time music, with odd rustling in the background.

Available on CD from HUSH

THE 7 STATIONS (2006)

A diverse album, sometimes a vibraphone shimmies up to the bar, sometimes a banjo saunters by. Recorded when the band was just coalescing.

Available on CD from HUSH

A very sparse album. "Underproduced" in the most elegant way. Nothing gets between a man and his poverty-stricken sentiments.

Available on CD from HUSH

A BIRD IN THE OPERA HOUSE (2010)

A studio album. In a good way. Many different guitars, textures, sounds. Songs about the most famous fruit vendor in the world, the most beautiful town in California, the best place to find a hotel in Cincinnati. Also, more songs about girls.
