D.M. Jones reviewed Constellation. Here's a short excerpt from the article.

All instrumental and decidedly indie-centric, Constellation isn’t simply laptop Muzak. Sure, the tracks run together pretty much seamlessly, and there’s not really anything here in the way of verse/chorus/verse, but active listening reveals detail, the aural equivalent of a calm muddy stream you have to be submerged in to see that it’s teeming with life. The muted glitches and scratchy backgrounds that underpin all the songs establish sort of a foundation to the gauzy keyboard lines and pads – there are no sharp edges here. Read More...

Don't forget you can still purchase Constellation exclusively on the iTunes Music Store.

Somehow it had slipped through our collective consciousness here at Sixty Years War that Lee Miles was playing a show this past Saturday with Eef Barzeley of Clem Snide.

Lee and his band The Illegitimate Sons rocked the house down and we have the pictures to prove it!




Thanks to Joel Faurote.

Welcome aboard Kyle!

[...] So, too, goes the list of things that Morris has 'ingested' along the way. The shortlist would be avant garde music and film, as well as the occasional episode of Dr. Who. He's also had to swallow his pride after two consecutive break-ups. Although it may be cold consolation, the record that came from those experiences is nothing short of perfect. While every singer/songwriter alongside Morris works with lyric and melody, it is what he has crafted with those simple tools that really set this album apart from many others. He has a very straight ahead approach with his lyrics, yet the melodies are nothing short of strange and inspired. Read More...

Sara at Clitora.org, a Wellington, New Zealand based music/culture blog, wrote a small blurb about Heathen Blux about a week ago. You can read her impressions of the record and listen to a couple of MP3 clips as well. Go check it out and tell her we sent you!

Heathen Blux serves well as his kind-of commentary on the way the world is heading these days. [...] But regardless of politics this is an incredibly solid folk album with hints of country on various tracks. If the first track can send shivers down my spine why don't you check it out? Read More...

Thanks, Sara!
