banjo beats "the accident that lead me to the world"
s/t
(Nobody's Favorite Records) 2006

Quite the memorable & delicate set of songs "the accident that led me to the world" contains - male and female voices (notably NFR's Mark Mandeville & Raianne Richards) taking care while enveloping themselves around a vintage folk combination of banjo, cello, acoustic guitar and more (thanks to the multi-talented Zack Ciras).

"The wind blew my whole house down / I rode the scattered wood out to sea" reads the opening of the title track as banjo and upright bass guide the listener though a quite remarkable tale of survival ("I used my clothes to build fires").

From the same label that presented the 'sctas approved' Jena Campaign, and always adored Jerry Fels, anyone who followed that lead will find plenty here to please the ears.. . this is the sound of lonely ghosts weeping tears made of the saltiest sea.
