Prog /Folk/ Rock

Michael Hilde (aka Almaden)plays very much in the hermit folk style that Kyle Field and Phil Elverum have claimed as their personal sanctuary. Songs are carefully crafted with themes of  Life, Meditation and Death.  Almaden is a corrosive mixture eating at the conceptions of pop and folk and lighting the bedroom on fire with dissonance.

Psychedelic / Experimental / Rock
We seek to create autonomous zones in reality through maximalist real time and fictional compositions. They are not necessarily pretty. Nor are they necessarily ugly.diego gonzalez-bass, oud, guitar & delay; josh pollock-sampler, guitar & delay; tim cohen-drums, keyboard & delay; warren huegel-drums & delay; chris cones-guitar in the key of flab & delay; and everyone sings!   We have two cd-rs available. The first is called "Inward Sun", and is available at Aquarius Records and Amoeba Music in San Francisco. The second is a new release, mostly acoustic, called "Would". It is available only at Aquarius Records.

Psychedelic

Driven by the urgency of death. Inspired by the inevitability of beauty. How four strange daydreamers came together, wrote, sang, played, drank, and lived these songs is a sentimental story. Surely, some time ago, in the queerest hour of night, each staring out a separate window, a secret pact was signed as dreams and memories are signed. Even if, unbeknownst to themselves.

     

"Who decides The Story but for the Song and the Loom? And Who is there to weep The Story: alone: the dreamer: in her deep-thick reverie. And who is there to dream it, beyond the time we are given?"
-Jesus America, Hunter and Gatherer
