"Thanks to my friend Matthew Putman for compiling this music that we made over ten years ago. Some of it might sound dated, but it tells a good story. It's the story of me thinking myself out of a very fruit-cakey religious phase and the resulting social fallout. Probably the most embarrassing time of my life, but at least some good rebellious tunes came from it."

"I found a bunch of unreleased/unfinished Snailhuntr songs on an old hard drive. They are demos for the most part, but still sound decent. We worked on our 2nd album for years, but never finished it. It's been abandoned for some time now. Working with Depper has been one of life's great privileges. This album is not finished in any way, some mixes are bad, but I think our fans can get an idea of where we were headed."

Arnie Niekamp fell through a dimensional portal behind a Burger King into the fantastical land of Foon. He's still getting a slight wifi signal, so he uploads a weekly podcast from the tavern the Vermilion Minotaur where he interviews wizards, monsters and adventurers. It's a major discovery!

Each week Inquiring Minds brings you a new, in-depth exploration of the places where science, politics, and society collide.

We’re committed to the idea that making an effort to understand the world around you though science and critical thinking can benefit everyone—and lead to better decisions.

Known for his work fronting the enigmatic rock band Pedro the Lion, David Bazan’s emotionally charged narratives, eye for telling detail, and mournful voice have more in common with J.D. Salinger’s “Nine Stories” or Flannery O’Connor’s “Wise Blood” than with the usual lyrical slant of popular music. Bazan is a gifted storyteller, weaving parables of spiritual conflict, suburban ennui, and personal surrender into magnetic, well-crafted songs.

His debut solo full-length album, Curse Your Branches (out now on Barsuk), is a masterwork by a modern American poet at the height of his powers. Paste Magazine called him one of the “100 Best Living Songwriters”. This record is the deepest and most explicit exploration of his struggles with faith and a meditation on all things passed between the generations.
