a link or two—but it is definitely worth the five minutes out of your day to
download and the thirty-three minutes it takes to listen. The songs are made
with honesty and heart and invite you along for a little drive down a black
highway. It is a short trip any northwest music-lover should take.'

(Liner Notes):
This work represents a trip I took out to Seattle, B.C., Portland, Vegas, Arizona and L.A. back in the spring. The EP/album was recorded all over the place on my wife's old G4 iBook. To add to the drama of the creative process, the whole computer crashed and I had to transfer all of the files on to a flash drive (while pressing the laptop down, on both sides, as I held it across my knee, pushing up on the loose logic board chip...it was really fun.) All of the songs are very personal and very stripped down. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed making it.
It's an EP served best on a cold afternoon with headphones on. Thanks for your support of Graven so far. Cheers!
