Hey Cole, glad to see you stopped by and took the time to hang out for awhile. Don't be sorry! Always fun to hear from someone that's actually making the music, well, that is unless it's because I said your album sucks and you're all pissed

But it is a great album and you guys should be very proud. There's a lot of great music being made these days all over the world, but it's not often I hear something that really hits the spot like The Lonesome Sea. Love those convoluted tales and the sometimes quirky lyrics. Reminds me a little bit of another small band called Tracker and their Polk album from a couple years ago on the FILMguerrero label that I fell pretty hard for too. A little more cinematic and with some hints of Brian Eno, including a wonderful cover of his "Somber Reptiles", but much of the same sensibility as you guys. At least for me, although your sound is much more dynamic and universal. And the Radar Brothers did come to mind at times when I heard The Lonesome Sea, but mainly because of the stories. If you haven't heard it, their And the Surrounding Mountains is a very cool album with a lot of cinematic depth, and the songs all seem to have a theme running through them containing some sinister untold secret that's never quite revealed. Like Tracker, they're a little more Pink Floyd (or Mercury Rev) than you guys, but still a lot of that Crazy Horse goodness.

Anyway, I wish you guys all the luck and hope you sell lots of records and keep performing and releasing new ones. At least you know there's an audience of a few music lovers hanging out here that'll buy em!

Take care.
