Recorded live in the high desert of northern New Mexico, The Trilogy is an aural triptych which features expansive arrangements by the extended family of musicians that has grown out of the band's underground parking garage concert series in Los Angeles, Calif.  

The Trilogy

An aural postcard, these three songs were recorded live as a duo in Sebastopol, California.  Rain was falling, frogs were croaking, and we were holed up in a small room overlooking the soggy world outside.  When we got home and took a listen we decided to invite a few of our favorite artists, who we are lucky enough to call dear friends, to add something to each of them. On ‘Hold On’, Marië Abe played accordion and Elizabeth Goodfellow sang and played percussion.  Our first cover, ‘The Thin Red Line’ was written by one of our favorite songwriters, Michael Bush, and features Dina Maccabee on violin.  The title track features Jesse Olsen Bay on pump organ, and Beth on cymbals.  The cover art was painted by David A. Soto. 

A special edition of the EP is being released on cassette via the Touch Tapes label, featuring a fifteen minute Side B amalgam of sounds and songs from our past, present, and future.

Luck Of The Sailor (Live)

Good Luck (and all that stuff)

Groene Hart

early in the morning 
when the sun's still low 
beyond the ridge 
we were drinking coffee 
boiled eggs and toast 
when the light came in 
and before me 
figures forming 
in the distance 
in an instant 

later in the evening 
with the moon still low 
a thousand eyes 
tide was rising 
and we looked up 
a shooting star 
there before me 
space unfolding 
in the distance 
in an instant 
and before me 
all around me 
endless distance 
in an instant 
ah, light!
