Sheath008 | Released November 04, 2008
The only recordings by Eksi Ekso that include Nate Shumaker (who went on to form Lavinia), Clara Kebabian, and Beth Holub. Magic Bullet Records put the CD out on this one. After this album, the band stripped down to a three piece and altered their sound as they wrote Brown Shark, Red Lion (Sheath027), while Nate went on to form Lavinia. This is an intensely personal record to us at Sheath HQ, a very important album that is criminally underrated.
“Somewhere between yesterday and today, chamber, atmosphere, and the night, lies Eksi Ekso…” – QRO MagazineNot available for streaming.
