The Soft, Soft Shakes

The front and back artwork of the newly released Autumn in Halifax record The Soft, Soft Shakes.
My favorite record of the moment. Folk music stretched across sonic architectural landscapes.
You can hear Sleepwalkers, Maramount and Mend & Color Your Horses at autumninhalifax.com
Go grab yourself a copy from Rochester, NY's own Carbon Records. If I were you I would also pick up the amazing Robert Frank & The Moon Short Story/EP - David Merulla's quiet, bloody, lovely short story soundtracked by Autumn In Halifax & The Leaves.

With the Right Kind of Eyes Hunter S. Thompson Can Almost See the High-Water Mark
