In 1968, a young woman was found dead along a dirt road near Eagle Creek, north of Georgetown, Kentucky. For 30 years, she was known only as "Tent Girl". This album is a series of overlapping narratives inspired by her story as re-imagined to incorporate imagery and locales from Bauer's rural Kentucky upbringing. These songs explore what it means to be home and lost, what it means to pass from life to death.

"The staggering darkness and the uncomfortable weight of his songwriting is where his magic is."

"Bauer’s work is simply astounding—not just on par with Samuel Beam’s Iron and Wine bittersweet ethos, but a rival to its haunting intimacy"

Side A: Strand of Oaks, 45 today Side B: Dragon Turtle, Light the Lamps listen via player

The melding of minds occur in this haunting and gorgeous combination of two philosophical approaches, a swirl of the literal and metaphoric. Duchamp-inspired rotorelief design. Recorded at One Forest in our Pennsylvania mountains during the winter of 2006.

"This excellent first release from the Delaware Water Gap, Pennsylvania-based label La Société Expéditionnaire is two sides of rustic country-folk music of an exploratory bent. Look at that cover image of a galaxy swirling into a cross-section of a tree trunk and you'll get the idea...It's a page of a nature journal tucked into a philosopher's diary and set adrift, over unfettered voices and instruments."

This 12" vinyl-only/ limited edition/hand screened release is a testament to the the beauty and magic of transitional metamorphosis. Recorded live for broadcast on Princeton Radio in February 2006, This offering bridges the gap between 2005's Bare Bones and Branches and the 2007 release of Blasts of Holy Birth. The loose, fresh versions of past favourites blend with workings of new material, setting a striking ambience including various chimes, vocals, eastern drones, harp, guitar, banjo, piano, percussion, and other whims. Thirty minutes of pure magic.

Side A: Doc Holliday was a Phony Side B: Bright Light

In 2003, one hundred records were shipped overseas for European distribution, never reaching their destination. Obviously vacationing in the Bermuda Triangle for nearly four years, they have now found their way home. A true miracle. We are proud to offer you the lost batch of Lewis & Clarke's first release. Originally issued by Delboy Records.

"Subdued, but smart and introspective-a bit spooky, too. Lou Rogai has an easy, comfortable way with the mic, and he's a pretty interesting songwriter. 'I can see your breath write apologies across the glass,' he sings in 'Bright Light.' A definite mood record."
