Folk rock with a 'lil world, blues from Toronto. Really lovely violin work, sprawling guitar experimentation and lots of other stringed things - 5-string banjo, electric tenor banjo, double bass, 12 string guitarjo and echo harp. Accordion gives some tracks a little world kick. Pretty good stuff. Try 2, 4, 7. FCC clean.

1) Accordion, some percussion & scanty guitar.
2)* Strong rhythm, loose & kinda wonky guitar, nice harmonies. Drunken sound. Reminiscent of some Will Oldham.
3) Soft lullaby. Harmonies over sparse strings.
4)** Psychadelic folk with good percussion.
5) Gentle strings & vox over chirpy-grasshopper sounds.
6) Forceful percussion, accordion in the foreground.
7)* Melodica, accordion are the droney backdrop for this one. A folksy song-in-a-round.
8) Some interesting strings in this tender love song.
9) Slow bluesy tune. Strings take it into realm of spiritual.
