Siskiyou - Siskiyou - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The eponymous debut for the new group led by former Great Lake Swimmers member Colin Huebert in collaboration with Erik Arnesen (who still plays with the Swimmers) and musician / filmmaker Karolyn Keir. Banjo, piano, accordion and electric guitar play the lead roles here. The resulting collection of songs thrums with a scrupulous lo-fi backwoods energy and restraint that perfectly conjures the the rich, crisp yet often chilly landscape of the band's Pacific Northwest environs.
