EYES OF AUTUMN - MOTHER GHOST RECORDINGS Vinyl LP

Pacific Northwest trio Eyes of Autumn began their musical journey as middle and high schoolers just west of Tacoma, Washington in 1998-learning in real time how to express themselves through tone, rhythm, and texture. After self-releasing ambitious EPs and touring relentlessly, they signed to 5440' or Fight! And recorded their debut at John Vanderslice's Tiny Telephone in San Francisco. The band split in 2003, reuniting in 2007 with newfound musical patience and an unabashed love of T-Rex, My Morning Jacket, and Emmylou Harris. The Mother Ghost Sessions-recorded during the most creatively fertile period of the band's career-captured seven songs before the group disbanded again. Lost on outdated hard drives, the recordings were unearthed in 2023 and found to have aged remarkably well: free, open arrangements, Walkman-esque ambiance, and the childlike creative spirit that always marked Eyes of Autumn, now refined with patience and care. Drummer Peter Mansen later co-led Seattle indie outfit Deep Sea Diver with Jessica Dobson.
