So Phil and I have an acoustic show in New Jersey this weekend. To be honest, we’re pretty excited about the songs we’ve been working on for the event. We hope you can come. While we do plan to sing wakeup sleeper songs, we have also begun to journey into some new musical territory – we call it electronic folk. It’s essentially this: Phil and I have a deep love for both electronic and folk music, yet when one plays an “acoustic” show there are certain expectations and constraints by which one must abide. Said constraints often inhibit one’s ability to journey outside the realm of acoustic guitars and capos.
(this is a capo)
Therefore, we have attempted to combine the two genres into one genre with a dual nature – one being folk and the other being electronic – thus we call it (wait for it) electronic folk (or if you’d prefer electro-folk, although the latter may sound supercilious to some. Also, there are some references to electro-folk already on the web).
Anyway, we’d love to see you there. Phil has written an especially amazing song about Ecclesiastes that I think is worth the price of admission within itself. In case you’re interested in joining us, it’s at:
