This shirt is printed on a 100% ring-spun cotton shirt by a local Nashville screenprinting company. It's super comfy. It may cause you to fall asleep standing up. The artwork was designed by Jen Pappas (jenpappasart.tumblr.com) and we are very proud of it. If you've read this far, we hope you know that all of the proceeds from this shirt are going towards printing and distributing our new album.

about
Creature Collector was recorded in Nashville, TN during the summer of 2012. It was recorded in various studios and basements among friends.
lyrics
Do you wanna take those chances
To find my name in the sun?
Do you wanna lie on the back of a mountain
Where the wolves do roam?
Do you wanna drink til’ the paintings do sing
Or do you wanna die before the dawn?
You survived the winter and I survived the cold
Just wanna let you know
On the other side
Does a loving feud have to be something more,
Or will the rug muffle our yells
Will the chipped paint on the walls ever dry?
Will the room keep closing in?
You smashed the doorframe
And I’ll burn the halls
Just wanna let you go
Shall we build a bridge from door to door
To help the postman on his route?
Shall we tip-toe through forest and field
To get the job done by ourselves?
Gather stargazers and curious wanders
On the other side

Friends from Nashville! One of the members, Josh Stuebe, did the majority of the tracking for Creature Collector. Think early 00s late 90s indie or awesome, both work. And the Giraffe
Summertime Kids is the side project of Nick Roberts, from And the Giraffe. With a more mellow feel, the guitar melodies of Summertime Kids will lull you to sleep. And the Giraffe
supported by 6 fans who also own “Find My Name in the Sun”
Can't recall how I found this release but I'm glad I did. Take whatever mood you're in and by the time you finish listening to this if you aren't left in a reflective, calm and ultimately grateful state about life - seek medical help. Beautiful. DJ Osric
