Sufjan Stevens - Variation On 'Commemorative...' (From I am the Resurrection: A Tribute to John Fahey)

JAY WOODWARD - Howl

This is my take on one of my favorite songs. I kept Ezra's vocals and some of the midrange instruments, but lowered the song's key by a half step and added my own instrumentation. 

Hannah Hunt (Vampire Weekend Cover)

The Last Bison's complete 2014 release titled VA.

Sleep

Heres some finalized tracks from my last demo EP! (also a new tack!)

Mary lou

For the time that I laughed all the way through recording because my accent was extremely prominent. 

Bye Leah! 

Giddiness

LAYLA - 'Holes' (live)

Passenger

Safe Travels (Don't Die)

An infectious blend of charming pop and introspective folk, Kuhzoo was written and recorded in fleeting moments between tours in bedrooms, churches, basements, and cold hallways around the midwest. It was made possible by Bella Ruse's generous fans, who pre-ordered the record on Kickstarter.com

Asthmatic Kitty Records is an independent record label that was co-founded by Lowell Brams and his stepson, singer-songwriter Sufjan Stevens, in 1999. Since its founding, AKR has released albums by a variety of artists, including Lily & Madeleine, My Brightest Diamond and Helado Negro, and is currently home to Sufjan Stevens, Angelo De Augustine, Denison Witmer and The Welcome Wagon. 

Asthmatic Kitty was named after Sara, an orange and white tabby who wandered out of the woods pregnant and starving near Holland, Michigan in 1994. For fourteen years she brought joy as a beloved friend to Lowell, enjoying a happy life despite her initial hardships. Her asthma improved after moving west to New Mexico and Wyoming, where she lived out her days as an asthmatic kitty in name only.
