Jonathan Meiburg and Will Sheff formed this band as an outlet for more mellow songs from their main musical venture, Okerrvil River. It is named after a tribe of seabirds. Jonathon Meiburg has a masters in geography with a focus on ornithology. With the inclusion of Howard Draper (The Mountain Goats, Akron/Family, and Blonde Redhead), the band has risen up in the indie ranks. To date, this is my favorite album they have put out. It is their eighth album. Every song on this album is just solid. Download one of them in the Soundcloud link below.
Thanks for stopping by. I listen to entirely too much music and love sharing music almost as much as I love listening to it. The purpose of this blog is to do just that and bring you along the journey with me.
