DISCOGRAPHY: Text Adventure
"Mostly one wee guy, sometimes two wee guys from Glasgow, Scotland making little songs on guitar and computers, with singing and glockenspiel and a bunch of keyboards. Sometimes electronic, sometimes acoustic folk." --last.fm

a few albums: Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is the work of Pacific Northwest musician Adrian Orange who since his teen years has been recording and performing within the Phil Elverum, Kyle Field, Calvin Johnson social circle. His voice, a delicate unsure weeping call, sings existential songs which, on later albums, emphasize percussion. Earlier works emphasized simple guitar and (sometimes goofy) songwriting.--last.fm

SHOW: Rocky Votolato House Show, Seattle - 8/16/09
It was around 7:30 when I arrived at the quiet Phinney neighborhood and entered the home of Rocky Votolato's sister-in-law. He came in quietly, and a quiet settled over the room. He set up in the dining room with his Yamaha acoustic, two harmonicas, and a tuning pedal, his things placed down on a piano bench, with songbooks stacked on the piano, pictures of family members above, and a lamp in the corner. The tiny gathering of around twenty people sat on sofas, mostly on the floor.
Rocky would play 16 songs, many from his new album, True Devotion, slated to be released "early next year," with guest appearances from David Bazan (Pedro the Lion, Headphones) and James Bowman (Against Me!).
All together it was a great show in an extremely intimate gathering, and he talked freely with all the guests, about the inspiration behind certain songs, his family, beliefs, yoga, and his entire West Coast House Tour.
the set list:
1. Portland is Leaving
2. White Daisy Passing
3. Alabaster
4. Lucky Clover Coin*
5. Father & Son (Cat Stevens Cover)
6. Sparklers*
7. Where We Started*
8. Makers

-I'm not sure when he played this but it was around there

11. Sun Devil*
12. Suicide Medicine
13. Uppers Aren't Necessary^
14. Mix Tapes / Cellmates^

p.s. If you were at the show, and think I've misplaced or missed any of the songs (I think I might've missed Goldfield? though Rocky and I went over the list) shoot me an email.

OUT OF PRINT: get off the ground if you're scared by some by sea
preview
With all those miles mired in metaphor, this was the year that "The Winter Rush" finally made sense; this was the year I drove to California for her, where briefly, nothing felt impossible, but eventually as the months went on, nothing made sense, nothing had sense. We grew accustomed to fictions, writers of imagery that did little to belay our distance any longer, and all momentum ceased, and floating in the air in front of our eyes was this enthropic haze. --huy
