…handcuffed to a mason jar of ancient sourdough starter, Timmy Redface had met his match until from on high a brown hatted Galahad sallied forth and stormed yon gates of banal custom and paperwork and through and through sawed a harmonica tune, a dirge, a parade that called into being the fermented yeast of CRUX. Together these songmen forced criminals at gunpoint to join their merry band and help them stir and bake the precious dough of music and legend. The Crux are bringing the slow rot and hope to meet you soon.
Trees Are Neurons are members of thelittlestillnotbigenough band together to create ambient, textural guitar-based loops with cello and samples providing dialogue. all improv.
