The Tentcoat
The Tentcoat comes in easy to swallow 3 minute capsules, with melodies that stick to your brain like wizard glue, and soundscapes guaranteed to rearrange your neurons. Twelve songs spanning as many genres form a gooey, tapey, dreamy journey through the mind of its creator.
Featuring such guests as Mellotron luminary Bill MacDonald, local starlet Holly Winters, novelist Daniel Gildersleeve and art-rock sensations The Presidential Hippopotamus.
With influences ranging from Elvis Costello to The Flaming Lips to early 1970's prog-rock prodigies Kitty Porter and the Hystericals, The Tentcoat takes no prisoners as it dishes out 31 flavors of rock and roll. Please enjoy a sample, but remember to deposit your spoon in the designated receptacle.
