Graig Markel on NPR
Graig's article on the long lost sounds of the Optigan. Check it out!

While lush and expansive from
start to finish,
the acoustic-songs
ebb and flow into one another with ease while shimmering layers of
lap-steel and electric guitar give
each track its own distinct,
soaring melody.


The Seattle P.I.


This is music in the style of
English eccentrics like Syd
Barrett and Nick Drake, coming
from a Seattle musician, but no
less appealing for that.


Billboard



Via Novella is a wonderfully real
experience.
