Utilizing an interesting array of instruments like toy recorder, nylon string guitar, and baritone ukelele,Elephant Micahhas carved out an interesting niche for his swinging blues-y folk. The new track "Demise of the Bible Birds" is an excellent exhibit of that trajectory; Joseph O'Connell's tracks are sparse yet magnetic, and backed by the great Will Oldham on vocals (the project has been championed by everyone from Drive-By Truckers to Jason Molina). "Demise" is streaming below and is inspired bythe legendary Wendell Hansen of Indiana. It appears onWhere In Our Woodsdue on 1/20 via Western Vinyl.
