A Gift From Forest Records
August 13, 2010
Unreadable Font / Great Songs
Lucky me, lucky you! Forest Records has released a brand-spanking new compilation with 22 great tracks featuring many of your (soon-to-be) favorite artists. There’s even two poems of mine — one with the brilliant St. Jude’s Infirmary performed live at the Ten Tracks Halloween Bash and one from Red Like Our Room Used to feel with Ragland.
But, more exciting than my contribution is the long-awaited release of songs like Mikel Krumins’ “Zombie Girl”, Silk’s “Mr Creepy” plus many more jems!
You can stream the whole cd here and get and you’ll be able to buy a download / physical cd from Forest Records soon enough.

The Sea is Salt EP
Jack Richold and Faith Nicholson unite and conquer!
The Sea is Salt lull you into a dreamy wonderland with sparse guitar, piano and violin overlaid with achingly lush vocals. Then, just when everything seems safe and sublime, they release a pack of wild bears to go roaring for the throat. Kennoway and Star is their debut EP, comprising four musical nuggets of folklore, laments and Elvis mythology. Download it for free now!
Hunnibug EP by boletes
“Mushroom hunters refer to fungi in the genus Boletus as boletes. However, individual species vary widely: some boletes are tasty edibles, while others cause severe distress. Boletes are harvested all over the world, but proper identification can be tricky.”
