Introducing Eaglekin. Pathos hath no hold on them - this trio is quiet and loud; they are powered by food and drink and laughter, and love of and for their fellow earthbound creatures. Although theres not much heartbreak in this record, plenty of heart shines from beneath the surface of these tracks. Their self-titled debut represents a capturing of some of their favorite and most unique sounds. The album was recorded in the wee span of ten days, subject to the technical and creative wizardry of Jason Powers, engineer at Type Foundry in Portland (The Mountain Goats, The Need, and The Microphones). Herein youll find soft ukulele, heavy guitars, proud trumpets, organs, pianos, pedal steel guitars, and more, forming a tapestry of songs detailing (among other things): explosions, literally; life in "the Plebelands"; a cat (Grandpaw, or "G-paw"); a colony of humans living on the moon; the life and death of a tree; and memories of other lifetimes
