The first proper release from Church of the Undying Bloop, Run / Jump functions almost as a proof of concept recording… two fifteen minute tracks that move through a wide range of ideas and introduce us to a very unique new sound. Mostly improvisational, these recordings seamlessly blend mandolin, guitar, piano, slap bass and Commodore 64 drum beats into a strange sort of folk/chip/hip-hop hybrid.

Run / Jump is available both as a physical cassette tape and as a free download. The cassette tape packaging was designed and printed by Church of the Undying Bloop, produced in a limited edition of seven. It includes an additional thirty minutes of ambient recordings not available elsewhere.

Bear & Walrus’ Image Poems is the spiritual follow-up to their debut album Lake Poems… again written and recorded in just 28 days, again inspired by writings about nature. The sound ranges from chiptune pop songs mixed with baroque orchestrations (“Epigram,” “A Year Passes”) to more free jazz inspired improv experiments (the incredible nine-minute “Two Impressions”).

Image Poems is currently available as a digital release and a compact disc.

Bear & Walrus’ The Strength Of Summer is 13 tracks that recall the beauty of warm summer nights, good intentions, and earnest romance. French horns, piano, harpsichord, acoustic drums and distorted 8-bit wonders spiral downward into “Like Everyday,” the epic closing track.

The Strength Of Summer is currently available only as a digital release.

The fourth and final summer EP from Bear & Walrus, September, 1846 is four songs about transition and transformation. Mechanical beats hold together a warble of synths and strings with the occasional piano denouement, bridging the end of one project with the start of another.

September, 1846 is available both as a physical package and as a $2 download. The package was designed and printed by Bear & Walrus, produced in a limited edition of twelve. It includes a hand silkscreened audio CD, four signed and numbered digital prints and a letter-pressed chipboard case.

Another entry into Bear & Walrus’ summer extended play series, August, 1854 is songs about the space between hope and realization. Sprawling compositions with evolving 8bit melodies and jazzy piano solos pack 30 minutes of music into just four tracks.

The second of Bear & Walrus’ extended plays, July, 1817 is a slow and methodic examination of nature in the summer. Flowing harpsichord melodies, chirpy chiptune sounds and field recordings present textures reminiscent of birdsong and a thick haze of pollen.

The first of Bear & Walrus’ extended plays, June, 1854 contains four tracks about romance and hope. Crunchy beats, loose piano lines and layered chiptune synths are woven together into something that suggests the start of a very interesting summer.

Bear & Walrus’ debut album Lake Poems is the end result of twenty-eight straight days of writing and recording, a body of work created exclusively during the month of February. Inspired by nineteenth century poetry about love, nature, beauty and death, Lake Poems is a collage of chiptune elements and baroque instruments.

Lake Poems is available both as a physical package and as a digital download. The physical package was produced in an edition of twenty-eight with packaging designed by the band. It features a fold out lyrics sheet, hand stamped compact disc and a letterpressed case with hand watercoloring.

The William Segunda Family Band is a cast of feuding brothers and old friends. Intended as a gift for our mothers and our fathers and our babas, Fat Bearded Christmas is a collection of our favorite traditional holiday songs (as interpreted by us). Some are gentle and sweet with softly flowing flutes and delicate piano lines, others contain twelve minute distorted guitar solos. Our mothers weren’t too into that track.

Fat Bearded Christmas was produced in an edition of 50 for friends and family. It is also available as a free download.

The Gallows Bird’s second, more enigmatic, release, Within Various Constellations presents beautiful instrumental folk songs packed with layered flutes, harmonious glockenspiel and gentle finger-picked guitars. But the sense of place presented by the song titles and packaging is dark and tragic, suggesting that under the surface of these tunes something sinister is lurking under the surface. The slow creep of snare drums and out-of-tune piano over drone minor-key chords over certain songs helps to cement that feeling.

Within Various Constellations was produced in an edition of 45, designed and packaged by the band. It is also available as a digital download.
