about

The five stories in this collection explore the burgeoning relationship between a parent and a child. Full of messy tenderness and complicated hurts, the mosaic shaped by these stories reveals a broader overstory that wonders what it means to be human. Narrated by an often perplexed, sometimes agitated, and always curious new father, each of these tales is a message pressed into wet cement, a sigil knifed into the trunk of a tree, initials tagged in spray paint on the side of an old delicatessen; language misused to get to the untidy truth of things. The result is a work that is earnest, raw, whimsical, and furiously honest.

Church Songs

Terrifying. Every song is on the run from the law. And not the law of man, either. The law of God. Matthew Thomas Meade

Brett Green & The Mineral Girls
by The Mineral Girls

Here's a slice of neo-Neutral Milk. The production and the lyrics are as simple and honest as a punch in the gut; every hammer-on is the sound of a kid getting his heart broke for the first time. Matthew Thomas Meade
