about

This project was hatched over an evening of playing tunes together at Marla’s house in Oakland, CA in November 2009. We decided to indulge our shared love for mandolin-family instruments, to the obstreperous exclusion of all others, save Marla’s foot for percussion. It was recorded in three days in April 2010.
