One of the more mischievous songs on Crooked House, “Ichabod” kicks-off the final third of the album with a darkly humorous spasm of irony and dread. Eric has written more than a few songs about nightmares he’s had, and this is one of those. He told me about the dream once, and it’s all there […]
…And here we are at Track of the Week #5! If you’ve been following this series, you may have noticed that I’ve been alternating each week between Eric’s songs and my own. It’s another Eric week, so I thought I’d post about the Eric song which brought me into the band, and which seems to […]
I’ve decided to start posting one of our tracks every week — a soundcloud link, and a few of my own short thoughts about it — just for those of you who are interested in this sort of thing. So, “Track of the Week #1”: Have a listen to “The Bird and the Lemming,” a […]

That’s Eric playing the simple riff which kicked the whole thing off, Andy on bass, Adam on drums, and yours truly delivering a strange, “King Missile”-inspired story that I made up as I went along. All of it was utterly spontaneous, but it ended up sounding surprisingly surreal and awesome. Take a listen!
Here’s a new one we’ve been working on! It’s one of my tunes; this solo-demo turned out pretty nice and definitely gets the gist across, but it’ll be better once the band helps develop it a bit. Fodder for the second album, where it will pair nicely with Gary, Landlocked State, Only In My Dreams, and a couple others you probably haven’t heard.
Thought we’d drop a demo of a new song in advance of Thursday’s show. This song doesn’t have anything to do with ninjas, but it does have a ninja-like way of moving the beat around. :-P Listen a time or two, and see if it isn’t the weirdest song you’ve ever had stuck in your head…
